The Irony Is, Of Course,

I'm Not Elitist. I Like To Do Crowd-pleasing Stuff Which Is A Bit Smart, But Is Just About Belly Laughs.

I Am Not A Politician Going Around Bragging About Family Values Or Putting Myself On Some Ridiculous Virtuous Pedestal. I Write Comedy. And I Am An Actor. I Am Not Going To Solve The Nation's Problems. I Don't Actually Spend My Life In The Way The Tabloids Like To Think I Do. I Actually Spend 95 Percent Of It Writing Comedy. Sober. Well, Nearly Sober Anyway.

Knowing About Comedy Has Helped Me With The Drama. To See People Laugh, It's Like There Are Moments Of Catharsis In The Middle Of Sadness.

Actually, Bizarrely, In America, I Get More Appreciation From The Odd, Unusual Stuff I've Done, Almost Because I'm Not, If You Like, Famous In America As I Am In England.

It’s Our Imperfections That Make Us Vulnerable, Make Us Interesting. How Can I Make Myself A Bit Of An Asshole And Still Have Humanity About It?
