I'm more pompous and self-assured and determined that if - you know - if the truth can be told so as to be understood, it will be believed.

And much as I enjoy writing and creating stuff, I don't enjoy it so much that I am willing to give up any time that could otherwise be spent performing.

I think it's important never to look yourself up on Wikipedia. I think the temptation to correct any interesting factual errors would be too much.

I find it hard to get enthusiastic about hotels because, as a touring comic, I spend a lot of time in them.

All my shows are therapy, trying to navigate interesting subjects so I can work them out and to be honest and say some things are beyond the wit of this man.

I am not racked with self-loathing. Some issues of guilt and shame, but I'm a pretty good guy.

Catholicism has the clerical equivalent to a nut allergy - even a small exposure to change, and the whole thing will go into anaphylactic shock.
