“I want to be respected as an actor. There's my ego. But I don't have a great need to be liked by an audience.”

“I'm used to being in front of camera and knowing what to think. But if you're asking me to be me, I get very self-conscious. My job isn't to be me. Being an actor, people think you can do a eulogy at a funeral, a speech at a wedding. I find all that very nerve-racking.”

“As children, we all hold on to the myth of omnipotence. Comics are successful because kids identify with superheroes. They'll read a book or watch a TV programme and say, 'I'm that guy.' And that guy is always the one in control.”

“Art has more ego to it than what I do.”

“My father has a pretty big ego and he has to do things his way sometimes.”

“Moving to L.A. was hard. I had a career in Spain, and you have to forget your ego. I was a nobody again.”
