The important thing is not to be defined by what others think of you.

When you see a crowd of people jumping up and down at a pop concert, all gloriously in the moment, I don't think you'll ever see a comedian there. They'll all be standing at the sides, looking at how it all fits together.

I want my work to be judged, not me.

The tabloids operate in an amoral parallel universe where the bottom line is selling newspapers.

I find impressionists slightly annoying, really.

People regurgitate the same old cliches and it becomes like a photocopy of a photocopy of something that's vaguely interesting.

I enjoy comedy but it can become wearisome.
