Look, you know, you can't please everybody. I'm a stand-up comic. I know that. It doesn't matter how funny you are and how well you do, there's two people that are going to walk out of there hating you.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't see myself as a stand-up comic doing cynical, mean-spirited or disrespectful stuff. I'm very aware that I don't like to disrespect people too much.
I'm not a mean comic, I don't want to turn anybody off - I just want to give a point of view or my take on things that everyone can laugh at.
Is it my end-all and be-all to become a standup comic? No.
I'm not a great joke writer, which is odd for a comic to say, but I'm not.
I had no desire to be a stand-up comic until I decided to do it.
One of the biggest misconceptions about me is that I'm a comedian, which I'm not. A comedian is someone who can stand up in front of an audience and make you laugh. I've never done stand-up and I never will. I'm a comic actor. My comedy comes through my characters.
There have been some very extreme hecklers in audiences whose bile was so hateful and so meant that it would be a bit frightening to think that all I'm doing is jokes and yet someone hates me that much.
I don't care what the haters and naysayers say. If they make jokes about me, I'll laugh because they'll probably be funny.
I'm not a joke guy; I'm not a stand-up comic.
No matter how heinous someone's behaviour, if you make them a comic character, you can't expect people to hate them.
