Jack Dee Quotes

One Saturday in 1984, I walked into my first AA meeting. I went regularly for six years and only stopped when I came to realize my underlying problem was not genuine alcoholism, but depression Picture Quote #1

There were a few teachers who just did not like me because of my face. Once, I was told to stand in the corner until I cheered up. The attitude was, ‘Oh, for God’s sake, what’s the matter with him?’ But it’s just a natural expression Picture Quote #1

The rain forest has Sting. Now Siberia has Jack Dee. Someone had to draw the short straw. In this case it was the rain forest Picture Quote #1

I tend not to trust people who live in very tidy houses. I know that on the surface there is nothing wrong with a person being well-ordered and disciplined. Nothing, except that it leaves the impression of that person having lived in the confines of a stark institution which, although he or she has long since left, remains within Picture Quote #1

In my local newspaper, they had this advert: ‘please look after your neighbours in the cold weather’. I live next door to this 84-year-old woman, and do you know, not once has she come round to see if I’m all right. The lazy cow hasn’t even taken her milk in for a fortnight Picture Quote #1

But I like going to church. If you’ve been brought up in the Church of England, it feels like visiting an elderly relative. And I think it’s important that part of the kids’ education is knowing about the Bible Picture Quote #1

I had a longing for ritual, something I could cling to, a routine to make me feel well and contented. I hoped that reading Bible commentaries and theological critiques would nudge me closer to some kind of absolute that I could hold up as a torch to light my way Picture Quote #1

Well, I don’t ever get excited. I haven’t been excited since I got a Chopper bicycle when I was about 12. Once you get older you realise there’s always a catch to everything. So when I get, say, a commission to make a TV show, the catch is that you have to deliver something and then the sense of responsibility overwhelms the joy of the occasion Picture Quote #1

I hate people who think it’s clever to take drugs... like custom officers Picture Quote #1

Depression is something that has always figured in my life but now I’m dealing with it. I wish I’d done this years ago because it’s been really helpful Picture Quote #1

The good thing about ‘Have I Got News For You’ is it’s a compact show but it still gives everyone space to breathe, and everyone always gets a chance to say something if they want to. It’s a very difficult show to dominate, and guests who come on and dominate always fall foul Picture Quote #1

I really hated fighting people and hurting them, but felt unable to stop Picture Quote #1

Whenever you’re in any acting role you are mortgaging your own character Picture Quote #1
