I am not racked with self-loathing. Some issues of guilt and shame, but I'm a pretty good guy.
From Marcus Brigstocke
I find myself by default an atheist but fairly unhappily so. It would be bloody marvelous if there was a god.
I went to China for a brief working visit, and I thought that Shanghai was interesting, but Beijing totally grabbed me.
I'm more pompous and self-assured and determined that if - you know - if the truth can be told so as to be understood, it will be believed.
My purist comedy friends accuse me of being a Jack of all trades and master of none.
There are a lot of comics at the top end making staggering amounts of money and selling out stadiums. I think stand-up is a more intimate thing than that. Maybe because of the kind of comedy I do. It's like a discussion, but I'm the one with the microphone.
Guilt is feeling bad about what you have done; shame is feeling bad about who you are - all it is, is muddling up things you have done with who you are.
If you want something Scottish, go get yourself a kilt.
I rarely fly, for environmental reasons more than anything else.
Eventually, somewhere - be it on the Internet or somewhere else - I will host some version of 'The Daily Show.'
