You look just like you!

People can tell the truth much more freely when they’re apparently lying.

I’m not careful with my money at all these days. I buy people a lot of dinners!

Many years ago I also bought a house in Provence for about 70,000 francs. It had no electricity or running water, and no road leading to the house, but gradually we made improvements. It’s my escape and I love it.

John Cleese once told me he’d do anything for money. So I offered him a pound to shut up, and he took it.

Well we were lucky because we started in Canada where everybody has a sense of humour! We flirted a little while with Josh Groban. He was personally interested in it. He said oh I’d love to do something different, and I said well it’s pretty different! But in the end the dates didn’t work out.

I never think in terms of target audience. I try to write what makes me laugh, so I’m the target audience. I guess I just hope there’s another person in America like me.

If this isn’t exactly what went down, it’s certainly how it should have happened.

I’ve always found bad films more enjoyable than good ones.

I don’t invest in the stock market, but I have pension funds – some in America and the UK.
