When I was young, I saw some of my heroes doing it on the telly. We're talking about Spike Milligan, Peter Sellers, Arthur Lowe, Ian McKellan, Kenneth Williams. These were all guys telling stories to me.

I've always had a problem with doing what I'm told.

As I see it, there's mainstream comedy - and then there's me, out in the badlands.

It's difficult for me, to look into eyes of a journalist and trust him to present it as you say.

Something that has been important to me is never to repeat myself, never to go back.

Words on the page don't have the same impact as somebody saying the words to you.

I don't want people to know who I am.

Bring me another bad one, and I shall protect my British people - I brought down Thatcher to protect my people, and I'm bringing down Tony to defend them, and I'll be there for any other dangers that come along.

I've always had live audiences.
