My goal as a comedian is to sway people's opinion. It's not my only goal and it's not the only way I measure myself.
I would love to do a serious period drama. Oh, absolutely. I mean, you'll find most comedians want to do more serious stuff, most musicians want to be comedians, and most serious actors want to be musicians.
Every comedian wants to play the London Comedy Store, and I was no exception.
Every comic is taught that you're supposed to have a great seven-minute set and then get a sitcom. And I don't want to get the sitcom.
Acting is fun; it's easier than writing, and if you get on a [TV] show, it draws people to your stand-up. That's ultimately what I'd like to do.
I want my name to be a brand in comedy. I hope my name stands for comedic excellence.
If you watch most of the stuff on TV and in movies, it's usually put-down humor. It's like somebody being mean or cynical or thoughtless to another person. I never wanted to be that type of comedian.
I don't think anyone gets into comedy to host a baking show.
