A law which attempts to say you can criticise and ridicule ideas as long as they are not religious ideas is a very peculiar law indeed.

I want to express myself in a different way. I have a performing inclination.

I think in many ways Johnny English is a more believable character.

My personal problem is that I take the business of film-making so seriously that I find it very difficult to relax.

No, no, I was only funny on stage, really. I think I was funny as a person toward my classmates when I was very young. You know, when I was a child, up to about the age of 12.

I like to juggle with one ball at a time. Then I put the ball down and do nothing for extended periods of time.

For telling a good and incisive religious joke, you should be praised. For telling a bad one, you should be ridiculed and reviled. The idea that you could be prosecuted for the telling of either is quite fantastic.
