If you've never seen an elephant ski, you've never been on acid.
From Eddie Izzard
I just believe in the goodwill of people, the power of people to do something positive.
I don't know what it's like in the U.S. but immigrants in the U.K. do the jobs the citizens won't do.
I'd be happy to be taken as a woman - and that's what I was initially trying to do when I started throwing on dresses and stuff. But that wasn't going to happen because everyone kept calling me sir. So I thought I'd change the method and just start wearing what I wanted to wear.
If you get anything creative going, then the work and play thing is the same thing, I feel.
Comedy is a great weapon of attack. It's not a great weapon of support.
Never put a sock in a toaster.
In stand-up it really helps to play yourself and talk about your own feelings. You cannot fail to be original if you're just talking about what you think about X, Y and Z. Unless you've got a twin brother who's also a stand-up.
Cats have a scam going - you buy the food, they eat the food, they go away; that's the deal.
I felt audiences are happier to take comedy people who play darker people because there's a link between the psychosis of comedy and the psychosis of being a twisted character.
