If you start to disrespect the character you're playing, or play it too much for laughs, that can work for a sketch, it will sell some gags, but it's all technique. It's like watching a juggler - you can be impressed by it, but it's not going to touch you in any way.

When it comes to morality, I'd rather have an unfaithful president like Bill Clinton, who tried to reform welfare, than a faithful George Bush who propagated an illegal war on the rest of the world. So that is where my morality stands.

To me, most theatre looks ridiculous. I find it very difficult to do. Personally, if I ever try to do serious stuff, I always end up looking like an asshole, so I might as well try and do comedy, because I'm good at that.

Convoy? Michael, you're hanging around with a man who uses a collective term for a single vehicle.

I've always been drawn to discomfort and that limbo of unease you get between comedy and tragedy.

It is not true that sex degrades women... if it is any good.

I have never wanted to be famous, as such - fame is a by-product.
