I think sometimes you get given a good pile of goodwill, and it's whether you use it up in the first six months or spread it out over a career.

Just because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right. Some people are offended by mixed marriage, gay people, atheism. So what? F*** 'em.

Of all the disciplines involved in making anything - TV, film or anything I do - the writing is the most valuable commodity.

I love how people walk around with crucifixes, skullcaps, pointy hats, funny beards and then say 'you should keep your atheism to yourself.'

Got a proper job at 28. Gave it up to try comedy at 38. Decided to get fit and healthy at 48. It's never too late. But do it now

My ideal meal would probably be the cheesiest pasta or pizza, followed by something creamy and chocolaty. I mean, just the worst things, really.

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.
