“I do say no to lots of things, actually! I know it doesn't look like it. But I have a tendency to a) be rubbish at saying no, and b) be pushed by some kind of Protestant work ethic.”

“I have friends who vote Tory, and I'm appalled, but that's not to say they're not great people in so many other ways.”

“Who do I like? I am a big fan of French and Saunders - not that that they are particularly stand-up I have to say, but I think they have been great for women and they are of themselves just incredibly funny whether they are male or female.”

“It is the unspoken ethic of all magicians to not reveal the secrets.”

“I have a work ethic. If I say I'm going to do something, I do it.”

“We need to promote an ethic of work. And there's no way one guy or one company is going to be able to do it. It has to be a big hot mess - public, private, government, NGOs and smart alecks on the TV talking about it.”
