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

I like the British public. There is something in this country called tall poppy syndrome. You're good but you're not that good, pal, OK? The natural state of our nation is slightly miserable, and probably the healthier for it. In America you don't get a key down the side of your Bentley.

You really have got lots of issues! Yeah, of 'What Car Magazine'!

Sadly, I can't say the same for my Father, who is probably in a different place - Hell.

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

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.

All those people who go around saying Life begins at forty, they're notable by their absence. The nerve.
