nice important never-forget
It's nice to be important, but it's also important to be nice. Never forget that.
numbers years ideas
For a number of years in England nobody had any idea what I looked like.
worry hatred guy
The worrying thing is there's so much latent hatred of the guy [Donald Trump] and this guy isn't even president yet.
brave bravery ifs
I don't know if I'm brave.
groups prejudice kind
To single out a particular group and say we can't make a joke about them is almost a form of prejudice and it's kind of patronizing.
dangerous-situations car getaways
Normally in dangerous situations I have a getaway car.
responsibility thinking people
On the other side of the spectrum, you see someone like Donald Trump, who is using as the basis of his campaign political incorrectness. It's clearly intentional. He'd have to be a complete moron just to coincidentally insult Mexicans, and women, and disabled people, and Muslims. So clearly he's using it as a vote winner. But I think with comedians there's a responsibility.
hollywood film
Thank you to every American who has not sued me so far.
done interviews
I've never really done any interviews as myself.
responsibility thinking insulting
I think you can be politically incorrect, but there's some responsibility with that. You've got to make sure that you are not condoning or bolstering any racial or other stereotypes. You've got to be free to make jokes, but just make sure...you don't want to go and black face somewhere to just prove a point. If it's insulting and offensive just for the sake of it that's problematic.
enjoyed
I enjoyed being anonymous.
