I don't want to do the same thing over and over again.
Do your own thing. Speak in your voice.
I don't have lungs anymore! Just two spare bags that flew in under a bridge one day.
I'm not drunk onstage, although I've done that a couple of times when I was younger. It's partly just the way I talk - I talk like somebody in a rocking chair. I'm your 150-year-old grandmother.
It should not be an act of social disobedience to light a cigarette. Unless you're actually a doctor working at an incubator.
The trend now is to get away from stage bound sitcoms.
I've been writing since I was very young, even before I was a teenager. As far as I'm concerned, I am a writer - whether my writing's spoken or written in a blog, paper, book or printed on the side of a submarine.
There's always a host of voices you're inspired by. I love Don DeLillo, and I love Isaac Bashevis Singer, and I love Beckett, and I love Pinter. He's one of the funniest voices in English literature since Dickens.
I fear we might be losing the basic human facility to be alone - and with that you throw out independent decision-making, what to trust, what not to trust; key stuff - a perilous loss.
I'm fascinated by how you'll change your position so many times over a lifetime, but really what you're doing is occupying a series of positions on a landscape.
I dont watch a whole lot of stand up. Mainly I prefer to read writers; they make me laugh the most. Something gets you when youre alone and someones voice is coming through their work. Theres a different quality to it that stays with you a bit more.
I'm Irish, yeah, but I don't need to get up on a soapbox about it.
I quite fancy the 1940s. I like the trams and the trousers.
Yeah, I think Michael has had to deal with that label of being Michael Caine for a long time.
