That was liquid football

The one thing that gives you faith is the fact that people can be apart physically but they can still have an emotional connection.

I love people who are openly gay in theatre, because they have license to do what they like, and there's a kind of artistic liberal tolerance thing that goes on.

But with comedy it's a simple premise. If it's funny, people laugh. If it's not, they don't.

I'm an entertainer. I don't go round saying I'm a paragon of virtue, so that is clearly not in the public interest.

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

I'm not Mother Teresa. But I'm not Frank Bough, either. I am getting older and a bit more sensible. I'm not going to be popping up in dungeons every six months. If you catch me preaching fidelity while I am shagging chickens then throw the book at me. Otherwise, leave me alone.
