Some people would say comedy draws from some dark places, from your dark stuff. Life's great optimists aren't necessarily the funniest people.
If you don't mind haunting the margins, I think there is more freedom there.
I don't want to sound smug but I am reasonably satisfied with how it's gone. I think it's fine.
We all know the dangers of sequels. Lightning doesn't strike twice in the same place too often, and I think you've got to move beyond it, go the extra mile and have the courage not to just repeat the first one.
There was quite a lot of your rear end that didn't make it either.
Something about being given that microphone and if you're dressed right and the spotlights are on you, how can you not play that stuff?
Some people do it with irony and humor. Some people do it earnestly. Some people are ashamed of having to ask the question. And every so often there will be a journalist from Swaziland who doesn't know anything about it -- wonderful.
Colin is the sort of name you give your goldfish for a joke.
All we can do is hope and pray - on suggestions Hugh Grant will retire soon
And I always thought the biggest failing of Americans was their lack of irony. They are very serious there! Naturally, there are exceptions... the Jewish, Italian, and Irish humor of the East Coast.

The skill of a good actor is to make it always seem like you're in that fantastically spontaneous moment. Very often, a stand-up comedian has a different instinct, which is to reinvent. Once you've laid down some material, and made them laugh, you move on and find some new material.
