- Self - Presenter: Comedy performing - well, for me anyway - is a kind of neurosis which I exploit. You plagiarise your inadequacies, your hang-ups, and you make comic capital out of them. Comedy, like sodomy, is an unnatural act. And after all, it's not normal to parade yourself in front of other people and invite them to laugh at you.
- Self - Presenter: It seems very logical that the writer should also be the performer. It completes a process. I mean, I don't think of writing and acting as separate functions. Inventing the script is the part that most interests me. Performing is a catharsis, a kind of orgasm. Consequently, when I've finished a show it's over, dead.
