You wouldn't know how to perform a sketch that you don't find funny. You just couldn't do it.

If I ever play Hamlet, it'll be in a dress!

It's important to hold something back, though, because quite frankly my personal life is pretty dull and I don't want to bore people with it.

Keep yourself busy if you want to avoid depression. For me, inactivity is the enemy.

People will love something very much or hate something very much. But the great thing about a sketch show is that if something comes along that you don't like, something else will come along in a minute that hopefully you might like that.

I told Bernie Taupin that his best lyrics were for Song For Guy just because it doesn't have any words in it. But there you go... I'm a wind up! But a good Elton song for karaoke is I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues... "laughing like children, living like lovers, rolling like thunder under the covers..." Everyone can join in!

If the worst that happens is that I wake up and see a picture of myself and a headline saying, 'He wasn't very funny last night', then I've got nothing to complain about.
