“Nope, I don’t enjoy work generally. Not because I’m lazy; it’s just all so stressful and worrying.”

I think I have an inner confidence that my tastes are pretty simple, that what I find funny finds a wide audience.

If you want to be strong learn to live alone.

I think you’re bound to get a sense of any character that you play. It’s not something you often do in comedy.

Enjoy your own company instead of expecting someone else make you happy.

I would never wish to say that I’ve finally waved goodbye to any character, it’s just that the emphasis tends to shift.

I have a problem with Porsches. They’re wonderful cars, but I know I could never live with one.

Marketing is what gets you noticed, and that side of it something – this side of it, if you like, doing interviews – is the side of it that I least enjoy, and yet is 50% of the project.

We must be allowed to insult each other.

I can be reasonably funny and light-hearted when I’m in the company of good friends, but I’m not a jokesmith. I tend to be quite serious.

For telling a good and incisive religious joke, you should be praised. For telling a bad one, you should be ridiculed and reviled. The idea that you could be prosecuted for the telling of either is quite fantastic.

I would never be a television presenter. It’s not something I could ever do.

To be successful you don’t need beautiful face and heroic body, what you need is skillful mind and ability to perform.

If you get the quality right, then the marketability or whatever; your ability to sell videos or your ability to earn money or whatever, will follow naturally.

What is wrong with inciting intense dislike of a religion if the activities or teachings of that religion are so outrageous, irrational or abusive of human rights that they deserve to be intensely disliked?

I’m certainly not aware of suppressing more sophisticated ambitions.

As an artist myself I don’t like to be preached. I want to enjoy myself, so I kind of use that perspective to make music.

I enjoy singing my songs in front of people. I enjoy being involved in making the artwork for albums and stupid stuff like that.

Cry later, but for now, let’s enjoy the laughter.

I enjoy it when it’s over! I enjoy whatever success we have. If an audience finds it funny, then it’s been worth it.

It’s a new day. Count your blessings, think twice before you complain, give more than you ask for, do what makes you happy and enjoy life.

The older one gets, the more one feels that the present moment must be enjoyed, comparable to a state of grace.

I really love animals and enjoy working with them.

A man who has been through bitter experiences and travelled far enjoys even his sufferings after a time.
