“When I come out on stage in the bits that I do on 'Conan,' that's a one-time deal. There's no retakes, there is no, 'Let's shoot it over.' It has to work there. You have to know your lines, you have to deliver. So you have to be on point.”

“My job is to make you laugh. It isn't to inform you, but it is to bring awareness of how I see things without making you feel extremely bad about it. If you want to change how you think, fine. If not, fine. But at the end of the day no matter what you're doing, I need you to respect me, love me, and love yourself.”

“When I watch a movie, I don't want to see the extra bits.”

“It's unusual when you get scripts not wanting to change things - I'm one of those actors who writers must hate as I'm always wanting to rewrite or swap bits about.”

“When the National Theatre was built, it was a public building. If you wander round that building now, there are bits hived off for people who pay more money. That's happening across the arts.”
