Comedians shame people.

I've said jokes where I thought people might get up and hit me for this. A couple of people have thought about it. But they didn't.

Comedy is a terrible way to meet women. It's certainly a way to start talking to them, but they always have preconceptions about you.

I've never felt any sense of kinship with other comedians; they've always seemed too needy.

I have some friends who are comedians but not many.

I don't believe I'm a recovering alcoholic - I'm someone who used to drink. AA comes from a religious movement and that whole thing of 'I'm always burdened with this' and the original sin idea. It's not like that for me.

I just want to do something that I feel makes a difference.

I love the BBC and I think it's a really important thing.

The average British person would hear me doing my joke about Rebecca Adlington and realise there's no malice in it. It was an off-the-cuff ad lib.

British people have a really sophisticated sense of humour, because we're exposed to much more than Europeans and Americans, not least in our literary heritage.

I'm not cynical at all.

That's what I do in my stand-up. I work hard and hone the material and after a while audiences expect what I do to be good.

I think the most important things my book does is to give readers the address of George Monbiot's website and how to get hold of comic books by Grant Morrison.

I've been studying Israeli army martial arts. I now know 16 ways to kick a Palestinian woman in the back.

People think that the Middle East is very complex but I have an analogy that sums it up quite well. If you imagine that Palestine is a big cake, well... that cake is being punched to pieces by a very angry Jew.

The thing that nobody really said about Rebecca Adlington is that she looks pretty weird. She looks like someone who's looking at themselves in the back of a spoon.

How hard is it to get female panellists?

I did a ski festival in Austria once. I was struck by how friendly Austrians were, before gradually realising it's more that Glaswegians are awful.

There's still a lot of racism in stand-up.

Supporting Celtic, waving a tricolour because your parents are Irish - that's a valid culture.

Supporting Rangers, being in an Orange Lodge, that whole life - that's a valid culture.

I think you have a lot of rich and Conservative people who control our country who are racist and their views trickle down through things like tabloid papers.

In a lot of farther-flung places in Scotland people are guarded at first, but as soon as they get to know you they really hate you.

If you're an activist trying to do something important, I salute you. Most of us just give ourselves ethical brownie points for watching Channel 2 instead of Channel 3, like characters in a broad dystopian satire.

It's always easier to dismiss other people than to go through the awkward and time consuming process of understanding them.

In the future we will all be famous for 15 minutes. It will be on a daytime magazine programme and we will each wear a tasteful shirt and slacks combination. We'll be interviewed by a soothing voice under a clock that's permanently set to 4pm. We will talk about the weather. We will record for months to get 15 minutes they can use in the edit.

I'm actually all for political correctness. If you want to work to change the usage of a word that's discriminatory then fine, I'm behind you. But that's a conversation that needs to be had in the culture. You can't just decide that commonly used parts of a language are evil and that the people who didn't get the memo must be bad people.

Of course, it's hard to get interested in the whole idea of government. Nothing ever changes, especially people saying 'nothing ever changes,' despite the fact their kid now has a free nursery place and their aunt was forced to work despite having dementia.

There are a lot of problems with democracy. We need to think about how to find the people most qualified for the job.

Your ruling class don't care about what happens to you. What seems like some enormous upset in your community is undetectable from a helicopter or a speeding motorcade. They are pitiless.

Remember, taboos are just a map of what a society feels it's acceptable to be neurotic about. Taboos aren't rational.

I have no real enemies in comedy, but there are a couple of people who I'd laugh about if I heard that their legs had fallen off.

Doug Stanhope is great - I saw his 'Burning the Bridge to Nowhere' show and it was inspiring. He's like an anti-shaman, taking the sting out of a bunch of things we've chosen to give a symbolic power to. I've made it sound noble and worthy there, it's not, it's really funny.

Sectarianism is a real problem, but it should be addressed by people engaging with each other - reconciliation.

In my early 20s, there was a period when all I owned was about a dozen CDs and a crappy Discman. I'd listen to 'The Man Who Sold The World' album endlessly as I sat on off-peak trains jerking around the Sussex countryside to and from the asylum I worked in.

I loved the idea of Bowie as an artist, with his Burroughsian cut-up technique, creating these undecipherable, abstract songs, where we all projected our own meanings onto his jarring word choices and unexpected chord changes.
