People see me, and they see the suit, and they go: you're not fooling anyone, they know I'm rock and roll through and through. But you know that old thing, live fast, die young? Not my way.

It annoys me that the burden of proof is on us. It should be You came up with the idea. Why do you believe it? I could tell you I've got superpowers. But I can't go up to people saying Prove I can't fly. They'd go: What do you mean 'Prove you can't fly'? Prove you can!

I no longer needed a reason for my existence, just a reason to live. And imagination, free will, love, humor, fun, music, sports, beer, and pizza are all good enough reasons for living. But living an honest life - for that you need the truth.

Just because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right. Some people are offended by mixed marriage, gay people, atheism. So what? F*** 'em.

I feel that a lot of British comedy is often too bombastic, too obvious, dressing up and shouting and pulling funny faces.
