I don't think a comedian should even be concerned with being cool or sexy, as soon as you do, you aren't a comedian any more. looks are still the most important thing for women when it comes to meeting a partner. and that's fair enough, but a sense of humour is really important too. for starters, it's a great indicator of whether you are going to get on. if the first time you go on a date you don't find each other funny, there's a fundamental problem.
Sexy Thinking Comedian
There are good and bad critics like good or bad artists. a good critic says why they didn't like it. a bad critic gives it away that they don't like you as a person. i quite like that as well, because it means that i've won.

When you think of things like the sopranos, the wire, damages, they are beating film on a regular basis. most films are terrible. it's only the 2% that are good. there's things you can do on tv which you can't do on film. there is something about those episodic, serialisations that are grand and operatic.

I like big escapist films. it's odd because the type of comedian i am and the things i do when i'm writing and directing myself usually deal with the darker side of the human psyche and excruciating social faux pas. i often deal in taboos and the subjects i do as a stand-up are quite challenging. but my film roles have been much more fun and escapist.
Fun Writing Challenges

Beautiful Heart Order
[as a kid] i did enjoy making people laugh but i was also attracted to funny people. i'm [still] quite happy to not be the one trying to make other people laugh. i'm happy laughing at someone else. i enjoy laughing and i'll happily be the one just laughing all night if you can make me laugh.
Kids Night Laughing
There's a difference between a job and a career - if you're the boss you don't stop at six o'clock, you have to worry about everything all the time.

It's interesting that music in this country... we sort of sold something to america with the beatles and they sold something back. and we've never been afraid to embrace american style rock 'n' roll and make it our own over here.
Country Rocks America
I was okay with singing. i always sneak a song into everything i do. dancing, a little awkward. little embarrassed about that. i don't move well. but i was with a frog, so it doesn't matter. i'll do anything with a frog, that's my motto. he's great with tap-dancing or flap-dancing on my head. so no one's going to be looking at me when we're doing that dance. they're going to be saying, 'there's a frog dancing'.
