What I don't like is dance music or hip hop or any of that sort of thing.

To me, I like and understand ritual and I think it is important. Things that we do that give us comfort are important. Like Christmas, I like to go into a church and hear the carols sung. There's a comfort of actually going inside of a church, I find them serene. They're unchanging.

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

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 don't think there's anything outside what comedy can address.

Going to a grammar school, you mixed with all sorts of different types and I used to listen to how they talked. When I did my imitations, I could sound like someone really rough, or I could sound like a cabinet minister.

Even great people are always slightly disappointing, which is generally what makes them interesting.
