As I grow older, I become more and more of a Marxist - Groucho, that is. When you have lived two-thirds of your life, you know the value of a good joke.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I always find it actually funny that the analysis is that the characters I play in comedies are the manchild, the adolescent, characters that refuse to grow up. And yet, if you look back in the history of comedy all the way back to the Marx brothers, that's a big part of comedy.
The great thing is that the funny side of getting old is fuel for my comedy.
I know some people say I can be funny. But there is always a deeper meaning to what I say. I am a socialist at heart and have the interests of the poor in mind. When people see how I manage to work my way out of tough situations, it gives them hope in their own life.
It is a weird thing, because most people tend to get more conservative as they get older, but I find myself going the opposite way. I am sure that by the end I will be selling Marxist pamphlets on the Holloway Road.
As I get older, my sense of humor is my biggest asset.
As you grow older, your whole life becomes very rich, multifaceted.
I still think like a Marxist in many ways.
I've aged, but grown up? No.
I grew up in a funny way.
I live a bourgeois life.
