“They feel they have to look after their image.”

People saying it is childish and pretending it is beneath them

We had so much fun in Ghana and they are really lovely people.

Who are always getting things wrong, are much more endearing than comedians who are sassy and smart.

You’re entering dangerous land when you start theorising about comedy.

We only have one agenda, which is to make ’em laugh their pants off.

Because we all fail – and I’m ready, I’ll take up carpentry.

I’m waiting for the time when I fail

On stage, we just want to generate hysteria. We don’t care about looking cool or posing.

Performers like Tommy Cooper

From the stage I’ve seen people of all ages absolutely roaring at really good toilet humour.

I remember once having to stop performing when I thought an elderly man a few rows back from the front was actually going to die because he was laughing so hard.

Unless they are girls, of course, when it is to make them laugh their bras off so we can get a quick look.

But there is no doubting the effectiveness of a really good willy gag.

Most modern comedy is crap.

There is a lot of rubbish written about toilet humour

A lot of people are obsessed with looking cool.

Convention is the ruler of all.

The first act of love is always the giving of attention.

If I feel like I’ve done the best that I can or conducted myself in the most constructive way that I can in a situation, then I feel peace.

In solitude we find psychic distance, the perspective from which we can see, in the light of eternity, the created things that trap, worry, and oppress us.

God has entrusted us with his most precious treasure – people. He asks us to shepherd and mold them into strong disciples, with brave faith and good character.

If one burdens the future with one’s worries, it cannot grow organically. I am filled with confidence, not that I shall succeed in worldly things, but that even when things go badly for me I shall still find life good and worth living.

To admit that there is any such thing as chance, in the common acceptation of the term, would be to attempt to establish a power independent of God.

Feelings are good servants, but they are disastrous masters.
