If it was just the potatoes that were affected, at the end of the day you will pay the price if you're a fussy eater.

I think it's always funny when you see kids do Shakespeare. When I was at school, I was in Hamlet. I played Claudius, who's supposed to be a 60-year-old man, and I was like 18. It's inherently ridiculous seeing 18-year-old boys with gray beards. That's always funny.

Convoy? Michael, you're hanging around with a man who uses a collective term for a single vehicle.

I never had any desire to be famous. I find people who do really sad. I genuinely feel sorry for them because there is nothing of substancein their lives. I am happy when I am writing or performing. Not when I sit there being "famous". I like recognition for my work, but not recognition for being "that bloke off the telly". It is genuinely humbling when a woman comes up to me, as someone did recently, to say she wanted to commit suicide after her husband died, and my show cheered her up and made her feel better. That's great.

In my mind God made Adam and Eve, he didn't make Adam and Steve.

I try to not make safe choices, but I also like to do stuff which is interesting and is sort of exciting in some way and accessible.

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.
