I don't always vote in general elections, but I think I've always voted Labour.
From Paul Merton
Well, sanity, I suppose, is getting people to see the world your way.
And like the old stereotype, I overcame my shyness by making my friends laugh.
I think having an outsider's viewpoint is interesting and good, especially for a comedian.
When I was nine I spent a lot of my time reading books about the history of comedy, or listening to the Goons or Hancock, humour from previous generations.
In fact, I don't watch a lot of contemporary comedy for fear of being influenced by it.
I was trying to organise my DVDs into a sort of chronological order, and I am afraid that it all trailed off after the Sixties.
The thing about improvisation is that it's not about what you say. It's listening to what other people say. It's about what you hear.
When I turned about 12 or 13, I realised that being funny wasn't about remembering jokes. It was about creating them.
All disc jockeys are without talent. Noel Edmonds - I can't stand Noel Edmonds.
