I Don't Want To Go

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.

When I Was A Student I Was Very, Very Ambitious, Completely Immersed In My Comedy Career. I Never Had That Period Of Reckless Hedonism That You Should Get Out Of Your System In Your Youth.

When You Tour You Become More Intimate With Your Audience. It's Like I Need Reassurance That They Like Me Or At Least Find Me Relevant. And That I Can Still Do It.

I Like The Transience Of Klimt Paintings.
