On my show, nobody's being paid more than me. I don't ask what they're being paid - I just make sure they're not getting more than me.

Fame is a bit Nietzschean. For everything good, something bad happens to you, so you have to sort of be careful.

I'd rather do smaller theaters, because it's more fun for the audience and more fun for me. I like to build up demand.

Fame is like being at a party and getting invited into the cool room even the VIPs can't get into, then the even cooler, more exclusive room after that. Eventually, you end up in a cubicle on your own, asking, 'Am I having fun?'

I loved being a man-woman. It's much more interesting than being one or the other.

In television, there are so many things between you making a joke and the audience seeing it. It's like an assault course.

I think I'm constantly surprised that adults can't deal with illogical things or thing that are weird or psychedelic. I've never really lost that.

I've got quite a strong drive, and that can be slightly deplorable. Struggling to become a famous comedian - there's something weird about that.

Kids love Lady Gaga because she's a freak, and she's one of the few people doing that, but unfortunately, Lady Gaga hasn't got the tunes. She's not David Bowie or Roxy Music.

I love the Boosh, but there were so many people around us that it became a cash cow. Everyone's going, 'Do this. Do that. This is the answer'.

I love David Suchet. I'm obsessed with Poirot. Then I saw him in 'The Importance of Being Earnest,' where he did Lady Bracknell, and he was amazing - he did it like a dinosaur, like a velociraptor.

There's a little pond near my house, and I see two swans there all the time who are obviously in love. But they look like the same bird, so I don't know if they're male or female, but they're definitely in love.
