When I first became famous in the United Kingdom it was helpful because it meant there wasn't a spite of 'this bloke's a drug addict,' 'this bloke f**ks all these women' because I was just making jokes about all those things already, so it made me some kind of incorruptible indefatigable, indestructible force.

What I might do is watch Mrs Doubtfire. Or Dead Poets Society or Good Will Hunting and I might be nice to people, mindful today how fragile we all are, how delicate we are, even when fizzing with divine madness that seems like it will never expire.

If you're a drug addict, often you're stealing - I've gotten done for shoplifting a few times.

The way I've been with drink and drugs suggests I have a tendency to get addicted to things.

The Holy Spirit ain't got a pen.

On respect for the Queen: When I lick a stamp I always do it with my eyes closed.

The priority of any addict is to anaesthetise the pain of living to ease the passage of day with some purchased relief.
