I Think Having An Outsider's

In Fact, I Don't Watch A Lot Of Contemporary Comedy For Fear Of Being Influenced By It.

I Have Never Sold My Story, Done Hello! Magazine, Any Of That Stuff. I'm Not Guilty Of Exploiting My Private Life For Cash And Then Saying, 'oh, I Don't Want To Talk About My Private Life.' I've Never Crossed That Line.

I'll Never Forget My First Experience Of Swede. It Was At School And I Thought I Was Getting Mashed Potato. I've Never Got Over It.

I Remember Being Fascinated By The Very Nature Of Comedy From The Age Of 10; Why Is This Funny, And That Isn't?

When I Was Nine I Spent A Lot Of My Time Reading Books About The History Of Comedy, Or Listening To The Goons Or Hancock, Humour From Previous Generations.
