When you think of things like The Sopranos, The Wire, Damages, they are beating film on a regular basis. Most films are terrible. It's only the 2% that are good. There's things you can do on TV which you can't do on film. There is something about those episodic, serialisations that are grand and operatic.

You have to be 100% behind someone, before you can stab them in the back.

Comedy and drama are different sides of the same coin. And the thing about comedy and drama is about likability. It's about character first. It's about story. And for me, it's about empathy, and I think the realer someone is, the further you can go either way with 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.

The best way to avoid criticism is never do anything ever. Or, do what you love, have a great life & let others spend their time criticising.

I can't stand it. I can't stand someone being embarrassed. I don't know why. If someone slips over and the first thing they do is look around, I pretend I haven't seen it.

I think what makes us human is those choices - whether to tell the truth or not.
