More quotes by Alexei Sayle
If someone starts agreeing with me, I don't like it. Out of pique, I become something else.
Alexei Sayle
I liked 35 and in both my novels that is the age of the lead characters. I tried making them my age but they just seemed to keep moaning about stuff.
Alexei Sayle
I suppose the common idea of me is that I'm going to be someone who's hyper and cracking jokes all the time, but people who meet me are soon disabused of that notion.

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 did six series for the BBC and that was enough. I've been writing for ten years, which is more challenging artistically.
Alexei Sayle
If you travel to the States... they have a lot of different words than like what we use. For instance: they say 'elevator', we say 'lift' they say 'drapes', we say 'curtains' they say 'president', we say 'seriously deranged git.'
Alexei Sayle
Honestly, sometimes I get really fed up of my subconscious - it's like it's got a mind of its own.
Alexei Sayle
It always seemed to be a constant that my parents were political.
Alexei Sayle
As a comic, you try something and if it works you go with it and grind it to death.
Alexei Sayle
I don't think people were that interested in what I was doing for the most of the 1990s.
Alexei Sayle
People are more violently opposed to fur than leather because it's safer to harass rich women than motorcycle gangs.
