My version of falling in love is borderline psychotic. Should
be avoided at all costs. Get obsessed. Can't fall in love and
function at the same time. All-consuming. Tunnel vision. Euphoric.

My ambition was to stop waiting tables. That was how I measured
success: finally, I was able to stop waiting tables, and I was
able to pay the rent, and that was by being a stand-up comic.
Not a very good stand-up comic, but good enough to make a living.

All my day is spent dealing with other people. When I come
home I like it to be empty. The presence of others in my house
kind of annoys me. I love coming home and shutting the doors.
I feel brain dead. I'm relatively available, but not to live
with.

My mobile rang around lunchtime one day, and it was George
Michael. He wanted to come in on Friday. We were like, "okay,
if that's what you want". And he was a very good guest.
That's a real exception to the rule.

We supply wine to all the guests - but most of the guests
don't bring the wine on. But I drink wine before the show. Everyone
does.

In terms of language, yeah we get bleeped and blurred and
things, but in terms of content, I would probably say we're
getting away with more here than we could get away with in Britain.
And that surprised us so much!.

On meeting Victoria and David Beckham: Victoria pointed to
her necklace and said "£1.5 million". David
introduced himself. I was staring at his wife's tits and shouting
"how much?".

Being asked to host the BAFTA awards is a huge thrill, not
to mention a lot easier than sitting in the audience pretending
to be pleased for the winners.
