I don't like talking about myself; I'm not good at analysing myself. I don't want to analyse myself.
When things start running a bit too well on the tracks, I tend to derail them if I can.
I can't do jokes. I've always come from left field and tried to subvert conventional comedy. I started as a rebellion against that - albeit a very soft and surreal rebellion. It's escapist.
We just thought of 'Boosh' as an extension of our childhoods in a way, the stuff we had grown up on and loved: 'Monty Python,' The Goodies, Frank Zappa. It spoke to a certain type of person, and we just carried on doing it.
Performers often can be quite socially inept, you know? And even great comedians are like that.
We did have that, in the background of the character and the show, 'Mindhorn,' set on the Isle of Man, that every episode they would have to mention the temperate microclimate of the Isle of Man.
When you're really laughing, you feel like a little kid, and nothing matters.
I can act with either eye, but you've got to be twice as good as an actor to act with one eye. You need to put all your emotions just through one eye and really punch it out of that eye. I found it quite difficult to do at first, and then I found a technique that allowed me to act with one eye, which I patented.
Pain - that is what life is about, isn't it? Suffering with moments of reprieve.
I miss quite major cultural signposts quite often.
I did try and do some spooky stand up once, and some of my stand-up had - I tried to do some horror stand-up, but it didn't really work very well.
With something that's not based just in comedy, you can be a bit weirder in a slightly realistic way.
