I read in the 'Daily Mail' that I'm one of these 'foul-mouthed comedians.' But I'm much cleaner than the people they like. Nothing gives me greater pleasure than to think that a 70-year-old - particularly someone like Alan Bennett - would like it, because they've seen a lot of stuff.
If parents don't like some of the stuff I do then they shouldn't let their kids watch me.
'Housefull' was a mass entertainer. Kids loved that film and they asked me when I was coming back. I feel I can't tell them that I am coming back as Baba 3G in a sex comedy, 'Kya Super Kool Hai Hum.'
I never thought that after what happened with TanaCon that VidCon would be open to a conversation.
A writer either speaks to adults and bores kids, or speaks to kids and upsets adults.
Nobody would let us do 'Crisis' again.
People have always wondered if I'm trying to push the envelope when it comes to my cinema - they keep questioning the visual graphics and the controversial content.
Originally the big argument was that they wanted to call it "raw and uncut" and I told them I had a problem with that. When you say "raw" it implies that my show is dirty and that's not the case.
If we start attacking advertisers because of what somebody said - it's the wrong thing to do.
I don't really see why some of those topical lines have to be crossed to get a point across. I want a mother and daughter, a teenage girl and her mom, to be able to come to the show and both enjoy it on the same level.
Occasionally, we would shoot something and think, 'This is it; we are over the line.' But the test audiences didn't have a problem with it.
I probably get a bit more backlash in Australia than I do in America, to be honest. I was never invited to the Melbourne Comedy Festival because I was too gross, things like that. Which never happened in any other country.
Oh, Wikipedia, with your tension between those who would share knowledge and those who would destroy it.
You pay your money, you take your choice. I get the audience my language attracts and I lose the ones it repels.
With traditional publishing, books might be pulled due to plagiarism or libel - but rarely for content, and especially not without a widespread outcry.
Some shows do nosedive at the end, or some piece of content could become incredibly controversial and affect the way the show is seen.
