Even great people are always slightly disappointing, which is generally what makes them interesting.
From Steve Coogan
When you tour you become more intimate with your audience. It's like I need reassurance that they like me or at least find me relevant. And that I can still do it.
The best feeling in the world is performing in front of a live audience who like what you're doing. I can understand why people become dictators just because of the thrill they get making the speeches.
The trick is always to write in pairs because if at least two people find it funny, you've immediately halved the odds of it not being funny.
The great thing is that the funny side of getting old is fuel for my comedy.
I happen to have a public profile. Ditto newspaper editors. It's a result of what I do, not an end.
I want my work to be judged, not me.
I don't go to premieres, unless I'm contractually bound to.
The tabloids operate in an amoral parallel universe where the bottom line is selling newspapers.
I'm an entertainer. I don't go round saying I'm a paragon of virtue, so that is clearly not in the public interest.
