The right to ridicule is far more important to society than any right not to be ridiculed because one in my view represents openness – and the other represents oppression.
We put a lot more value, or at least I personally put a lot more value, on the creative values and creative challenges of something than the commercial necessities.
People think because I can make them laugh on the stage, I’ll be able to make them laugh in person. That isn’t the case at all. I am essentially a rather quiet, dull person who just happens to be a performer.
