The Film Industry Is Like

Mmmm... The Comedy That Matters Is The Comedy You Pull Out Of Thin Air. It's A Bit Like When Something Funny Has Happened And You Try To Explain It To Someone Else And End Up Saying, 'you Had To Be There'.

The Jokes Are Great But What Really Matters For A Comedian Is His Performance, His Whole Attitude, And The Laughs That He Gets Between The Jokes Rather Than On Top Of The Jokes.

I Think It Is More A Cautiousness That Protects Me From Enthusiasm About Things. I Tend Not To Get Excited. People Perceive It As A Scowl, Which Is Fair Enough.

I Love Mixing With Comedians When I'm Working With Them, But When I'm Not I Don't Feel The Need To Hang Around With Them.

My Character, Rick Spleen, Is A What-if Version Of Me, Really, Where Nothing Did Quite Turn Out Right And Everything Else Is Still Around The Corner.
