Being on the edge isn't as safe, but the view is better

A Christian telling an atheist they're going to hell is as scary as a child telling an adult they're not getting any presents from Santa.

There are good and bad critics like good or bad artists. A good critic says why they didn't like it. A bad critic gives it away that they don't like you as a person. I quite like that as well, because it means that I've won.

I never think of myself as a celebrity - or even an actor, actually. I think of myself as a writer-director.

Being an atheist makes someone a clearer thinking, fairer person. They [atheists] are not doing things to be rewarded in heaven; they're doing things because they're right, because they live by a moral code.

I've probably done the odd thing. I've probably done more than I would have done and some things you don't say no to. You don't say no to working with "The Simpsons"... the greatest comedy show on television. You mustn't. Even though going to my bad judgment, I remember saying that all I can do is make this show slightly worse.

Suggesting I hate people with religion because I hate religion is like suggesting I hate people with cancer because I hate cancer.
