Hotel bars are pretty good. No one bothers me there. Restaurants are safe. People are quite respectful when you're eating. But what I never do now is go to a busy bar on the weekend, or after 8 o'clock at night. That's the danger zone. Also being trapped. Never go on the Metro, or a bus.

You want to see the people you've sort of come to know and love, or love to hate, you want to see them develop in some way. And I hope people get sort of caught up in that arc.

No one wants to see cool people doing brilliantly. I want to see the struggle. That's the fun bit.

Never fear the truth. No bad can come of discussing a true subject. No bad at all.

I think the best advice I'd say to any actor when you do comedy is play it straight.

I'd like to thank God for making me an atheist.

The truth doesn't hurt. Whatever it is, it doesn't hurt. It's better to know the truth.
