"I had always drawn, every day as long as I had held a pencil, and just assumed everyone else had tooâ€¦Art had saved me and helped me fit inâ€¦Art was always my saving graceâ€¦Comedy didnâ€™t come until much later for me. Iâ€™ve always tried to combine the two things, art and comedy, and couldnâ€™t make a choice between the two. It was always my ambition to make comedy with an art-school slant, and art that could be funny instead of po-faced."

“The historian is looked upon as objective when he measures the past by the popular opinions of his own time, as subjective when he does not take these opinions for models.

But only he who has a share in building up the future can grasp what the past has been, and only when transformed into a work of art can history arouse or even sustain instincts.”
“What makes me happy is just curling up in with my mom in her bed and watching a marathon of 'CSI' and 'Grey's Anatomy' episodes with pints of ice cream.”
“If there is one thing Britain should learn from the last 50 years, it is this: Europe can only get more important for us.”
“The West has given the world the symphony, and the novel.”
