If you do something very successful, you will then be defined by it.

I did not become successful in my work through embracing or engaging in celebrity culture. I never signed away my privacy in exchange for success.

If you chase something too desperately, it eludes you.

When I was a student I was very, very ambitious, completely immersed in my comedy career. I never had that period of reckless hedonism that you should get out of your system in your youth.

I don't like big feet. It reminds me of gammon.

If things don't come easy to you, you have to pull a rabbit out of a hat.

Me, myself, personally, I like to keep myself private. I have never said I am a paragon of virtue, a model of morality. I simply do what I do.

The truth is somewhere in the middle of funny and serious.

The trick is always to write in pairs because if at least two people find it funny, you've immediately halved the odds of it not being funny.

I think if you try to look for something to show off as an actor, vanity can get the better of you.

I am of the very last generation who didn't have computers at school. As we grow old we'll become something of an aberration.

I should have been conceived during Woodstock

Don't confuse efforts with results....

In a room where people unanimously maintain a conspiracy of silence, one word of truth sounds like a pistol shot.

In television, I don't feel constraints. I feel a lot freedom to maneuver.

Since inner peace is the source of all happiness, we can see how important meditation is.

It would not be better if things happened to men just as they wish.

It isn't that we do what we want. It's that we're allowed to want at all.

The internet was supposed to homogenize everyone by connecting us all. Instead what it's allowed is silos of interest.
