I thought The Office was good, though I didn't think of it as a sitcom, just as a very good programme.
I don't go around thinking of myself as a great anything.
Don't you DARE use party as a verb in my shop
If you're a comic, you don't have a rehearsal room, you rehearse on stage. My main concern is remembering everything.
Fruit... it's just God showing off. "Look at all the colours I know!"
I'd be hard-pressed to think of anybody who's made me laugh, who's funny, but who's also relentlessly positive.
You cannot over estimate how infantile men are about sex! Men are people that have sex BECAUSE they have a headache... or are on fire, or have been shot in the head, or whatever it is!
I did throw a lot of eggs into one basket, as you do in your teenage years - 'I am buying these records, I am wearing this'. I did quite a bit of that. You have to do it, wear your stupid shoes, wear your stupid hair.
Shame is one of the greatest aphrodisiacs in the world, anyway, built into religion.
I don't really think of myself as an actor.
I never thought I want to do anything, really, except not go to work properly and turn up at the same place every day and eat sandwiches in the same canteen, if I can possibly help it, as I don't think I'd be very good at it.
The sensible thing for everyone to do would be to write all their op-eds and think pieces now so they're ready the day after the election when [Donald] Trump is no longer in the picture. God, I can't wait for that. I hope he just goes away.
Black Books adheres to a more old fashioned, traditional sitcom format, which I think works, because in its own way, it's quite theatrical.
As an Irish person, there's a historical fascination with America: America is the default green and promised land for Irish people and Italians; that's what we grow up with.
