More quotes by Alexei Sayle
As a comic, you try something and if it works you go with it and grind it to death.

Alexei Sayle
Everyone I used to work with is still alive and can afford expensive lawyers.
Alexei Sayle
I like the south of Spain, notably for the Moorish influence and the weather.
Alexei Sayle
You can't do comedy with a beard.
Alexei Sayle
Now, as a comic, if you're vaguely amusing you can go straight into TV, then you play the O2 and then everyone's sick of you.
Alexei Sayle
I wanted to write about how people's beliefs shift.
Alexei Sayle
For me, the showbiz memoir is uninteresting - you want to tell people something they don't know about.
Alexei Sayle
