I think there's as much profundity and wisdom in Shakespeare, more so in fact, than those in the Bible.

Yeah, all drama teachers are very effusive, very demonstrative, very emotionally open, very big, and gesticulate a lot, and are very physical.

I wasn't a naturally confident, extravert, outgoing person.

No one has a monopoly on wisdom, and even for people who aren't religious, you can learn things from religious people.

To me, most theatre looks ridiculous. I find it very difficult to do. Personally, if I ever try to do serious stuff, I always end up looking like an asshole, so I might as well try and do comedy, because I'm good at that.

When I play myself, I want to be a slightly better person. It just agrees. Everything I play about myself is kind of true, but it's amplified. We all edit, don't we? If you're self-aware, you stop yourself - you know how to behave properly.

The great thing is that the funny side of getting old is fuel for my comedy.
