When I direct my own scripts, it's much easier as it's been in my head for a year already... What I love about this is having an idea and seeing it come to fruition on screen. I would like to direct someone else's script one day, but I might not get round to it before I die - you can't legislate for being hit by a bus!

There's no difference between fame and infamy now. There's a new school of professional famous people that don't do anything. They don't create anything.

I don't think it matters if there is a god or not. I've met people who believe in God that are good and that are bad. And I've met people who don't believe in God that are good and that are bad. So, just be good. I'm good. Not cos I think I'll go to heaven but because when I do something bad, I feel bad. And when I do something good, I feel good.

Remember, no one can hurt your feelings without your permission

Thank you God for making me an atheist.

Animals are not here for us to do as we please with. We are not their superiors, we are their equals. We are their family. Be kind to them.

I think the job of a comedian is to make people laugh, but also challenge them to laugh at things they didn't know they could until now.
