Now that I'm more mature in a funny way I can even appreciate that I've bad to become more aware of my body. Since I've chosen acting as my career I have to keep my weight down anyway-I've been used to it for years so it's no problem. And there's nothing I can't do.

I'm always in situations where you can't be funny and yet I want to do it anyway.

People ask 'do you make a conscious effort not to swear?' - if you're doing silly stuff you're not tempted to put swearing in. All the comics from my childhood who were funny without swearing were the people that influenced me. What I do is quite traditional anyway.

Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

To overcome a fear here's all you have to do: realize the fear is there and do the action you fear anyway.

When I came to New York I began to meet the people who became the most famous artists of our time. I was insecure about my own level of ability I didn't know whether I could compete with these people and at the same time. I was wondering what is this anyway?

For somebody famous it's weird anyway to meet someone because they have a preconceived notion of who you are.

Quentin is very organic there was no way that he was going to put someone else's hand in there and anyway my hands are kind of famous. It seemed right.

There's a schizoid streak within the family anyway so I dare say that I'm affected by that. The majority of the people in my family have been in some kind of mental institution as for my brother he doesn't want to leave. He likes it very much.

I have a lack of fear whereas in the past the fear of failure was a powerful motivator. Anyway I have great expectations for the future but I just don't know if I'm the monarch of all I survey.
