The trick is always to write in pairs because if at least two people find it funny, you've immediately halved the odds of it not being funny.

I did not become successful in my work through embracing or engaging in celebrity culture. I never signed away my privacy in exchange for success.

I find impressionists slightly annoying, really.

I used to do stuff at college. I could do voices. I could make some people laugh. I wasn't the class clown, but I knew I had this skill.

I like the fact that people come together who have shared values, but I don't believe that a man died 2,000 years ago and was crucified on a cross to save me from my original sin.

I want my work to be judged, not me.

I've always been drawn to discomfort and that limbo of unease you get between comedy and tragedy.
