I Think If You Try

I Never Had Any Desire To Be Famous. I Find People Who Do Really Sad. I Genuinely Feel Sorry For Them Because There Is Nothing Of Substancein Their Lives. I Am Happy When I Am Writing Or Performing. Not When I Sit There Being "famous". I Like Recognition For My Work, But Not Recognition For Being "that Bloke Off The Telly". It Is Genuinely Humbling When A Woman Comes Up To Me, As Someone Did Recently, To Say She Wanted To Commit Suicide After Her Husband Died, And My Show Cheered Her Up And Made Her Feel Better. That's Great.

Look At All Those American Preachers Who Got Caught With Their Pants Down. They Say One Thing And They Are Doing Another. I Try To Be More Honest About It, Both In My Thinking And My Behavior.

I Love People Who Are Openly Gay In Theatre, Because They Have License To Do What They Like, And There's A Kind Of Artistic Liberal Tolerance Thing That Goes On.

The Truth Is Somewhere In The Middle Of Funny And Serious.

I'm Not Like A Politician That Goes Around Talking About Family Values. And I Can't Get Fired From Being A Funny Person Because I Did Something That Most People Are Disapproving Of. I Think People Are Just Obsessed With This Morality That People Perceive As Being The Right And Wrong Way Of Doing Stuff.
