For every profanity, there's a story behind it. People should go beyond my cussing.

I don't want to sound facetious, but humour is the key to the soul. You know what I mean?

The idea of what's acceptable and what's shocking, that's where I investigate. I mean, you can't be on 'Top Gear,' where your only argument is that it's all just a joke and anyone who takes offence is an example of political correctness gone mad, and then not accept the counterbalance to that.

The foolish and wicked practice of profane cursing and swearing is a vice so mean and low that every person of sense and character detests and despises it.

It is only the great men who are truly obscene. If they had not dared to be obscene, they could never have dared to be great.

I'm not against profanity. It's an important part of the language when used properly.

People need to be peppered or even outraged occasionally. Our national comedy and drama is packed with earthy familiarity and honest vulgarity. Clean vulgarity can be very shocking and that, in my view, gives greater involvement.

The need to be right is the sign of a vulgar mind.
