judging democracy popularity
Popularity and democracy aren't a judge, they're just stats.

people entrepreneur negative
Be happy. It really annoys negative people.
atheist if-there-is-a-god ifs
If there is a God, why did he make me an atheist?
fun life-and-love laughing
Enjoy life. Have fun. Be kind. Have worth. Have friends. Be honest. Laugh. Die with dignity. Make the most of it. It's all we've got.
religious epic people
Unlike religious people, I look at all religions equally.
thinking creative soul
I think doing something creative is the most important thing to me, and I think it's probably just good for the soul for anyone, whatever it is. You don't have to be a film director - you can do gardening or something - but I think everyone needs to create something.
thinking years people
I think, as a comedian, the funniest you can be is with people you know, and [whom] you've known for years, in a pub. That's as funny as you get, and so the aim [while stand-up] is to get that funny on stage with 5,000 strangers, to get that funny in a room where people shouldn't be listening but they are.
mean offended
Just because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right.
jobs careers differences
There's a difference between a job and a career - if you're the boss you don't stop at six o'clock, you have to worry about everything all the time.
fun having-fun criticise
It's better to create something that others criticise than to create nothing and criticise others. Go create, have fun!!
wall thinking eggs
I've never worked out what the moral of Humpty Dumpty is. I can only think of: Don't sit on a wall, if you're an egg.
christian believe devil
I've never been insulted by hateful satanists for not believing in their devil. Only by loving Christians for not believing in their God.
texture moral reason
I'm quite squeamish, really. I'm philistine and unsophisticated - not because of my great discerning palate but other reasons. Some are moral grounds, some texture.
