noel jockeys talent
All disc jockeys are without talent. Noel Edmonds - I can't stand Noel Edmonds.
class rich working-class
Am I allowed to call myself working-class now? Because obviously I'm now very rich.
school potatoes firsts
I'll never forget my first experience of swede. It was at school and I thought I was getting mashed potato. I've never got over it.
oysters guy festivals
When I used to do the Edinburgh Festival, there was a bunch of guys selling fresh oysters and I'd eat ten daily - marvellous.
heart night sitting
At one point in the mid-Eighties I shared a promoter with the Smiths. One night, we were sitting backstage when Morrissey burst in, utterly distraught, sobbing his heart out. Turns out someone had thrown a sausage at him on stage during 'Meat Is Murder.'
thinking interesting comedian
I think having an outsider's viewpoint is interesting and good, especially for a comedian.
laughing stereotype shyness
And like the old stereotype, I overcame my shyness by making my friends laugh.
thinking election vote
I don't always vote in general elections, but I think I've always voted Labour.
cheating laughter people
If you became a comedian in the '80s, you had to work the circuit and make people laugh. Canned laughter is cheating.
firsts politician disappointed
I've never been disappointed by politicians. I've never invested that much in them in the first place.
hockey ice mirrors
Mirrors are ice which do not melt: what melts are those who admire themselves in them.
time stress speed
Speed kills colour... the gyroscope, when turning at full speed, shows up gray.
morning light vegetables
Boni de Castellane drawing his chins onto his chest; shiny boots, embroidered morning coat, white gloves with black piping, big tie, light vest, the overwashed, bleached impression - 'blanched' as cooks say of boiled vegetables. That was the opposite of a dandy whose stylishness would remain imperceptible to Americans. Boni's style was highly visible.
lying hollywood
Hollywood doesn't even have respect for itself. Hollywood lies to itself.
