I don’t think I’ve ever made any conscious decision to be a comic artist, but to me there’s something quite anarchic about comedy Picture Quote #1

If someone pulls me down, I pull them down, as I don’t feel I should live my life in the way other people want me to. If they have a problem with my films, I can rip off their films, be it comedy or their family dramas, which are low on content and have over-theatrical acting Picture Quote #1

Stand-up comedy is a very hard thing on the spirit. There are people who transcend it, like Jack Benny and Steve Martin, but in its essence, it’s soul-destroying. It tends to turn people into control freaks Picture Quote #1
