That's the amazing thing about life. You can just rub it out, like a blackboard, and start again.

Sometimes I'll be confident and go into a shop and say, "Hello, yeah, all right," and then the next day, if someone looks at me or talks to me, I just don't know what to do. If you're walking down the street with a baseball cap, you might be fine. But if you're in a pub and you see someone look at you, you think the worst thing in the world now is if they come over. It's a really weird feeling.

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.

That’s the other thing I learned that day, that the truth, however shocking or uncomfortable, in the end leads to liberation and dignity.

Popularity and democracy aren't a judge, they're just stats.

[As a kid] I did enjoy making people laugh but I was also attracted to funny people. I'm [still] quite happy to not be the one trying to make other people laugh. I'm happy laughing at someone else. I enjoy laughing and I'll happily be the one just laughing all night if you can make me laugh.

If I do eat meat, it's got to be ethical. I want to know that it lived a great life before it was killed humanely.
