Something about New York man: You can do more comedy there probably than you can anywhere in the world. If you're interested in being funny New York is the place to go.

As a writer or as a filmmaker you have to present yourself and part of what yourself is is what you're interested in or what you think is funny or what you think is sad or what you think is horrible.

I don't hate humanity and I'm not interested in people who do. Although it's funny actually some of my favorite writers really do. Like Martin Amis. My dirty secret. 'London Fields' is one of my favorite books ever. And it's indefensible! But he's so funny... I forgive him everything.

Friendship is a disinterested commerce between equals love an abject intercourse between tyrants and slaves.

I was interested by the idea that artists working in a totalitarian dictatorship or tsarist autocracy are secretly and slightly shamefully envied by artists who work in freedom. They have the gratification of intense interest: the authorities want to put them in jail while there are younger readers for whom what they write is pure oxygen.

I'm interested in anything about revolt disorder chaos especially activity that appears to have no meaning. It seems to me to be the road toward freedom.

I am interested in anything about revolt disorder chaos-especially activity that seems to have no meaning. It seems to me to be the road toward freedom... Rather than starting inside I start outside and reach the mental through the physical.

One important theme is the extent to which one can ever correct an error especially outside any frame of religious forgiveness. All of us have done something we regret - how we manage to remove that from our conscience or whether that's even possible interested me.

We got Martha Stewart legitimizing homemaking for her generation and then there's this return to being interested in all things home lifestyle and food again. I think this generation is less about the frills and more about the flavor of things.

I did skit comedy online for many years beginning around 2001. Around 2006 I started watching a lot of food television and got re-interested in food. I come from a very food-obsessed family. But I also wanted to do my own thing which was the comedy.

It's fun to have money but the more money I get the less interesting it becomes. If you don't have very much you have to think about it. If you are starving you become interested in food. If you are struggling to pay the bills money becomes tragically important.

Not to like ice cream is to show oneself uninterested in food.

To be interested in food but not in food production is clearly absurd.

I'm always interested in trying to investigate different personalities. I want to keep myself guessing and keep the fear element alive so that I don't get too comfortable.

I am very interested in what has been called bad taste. I believe the fear of displaying a soi-disant bad taste stops us from venturing into special cultural zones.

Only a fool does not fear actors but you can't beat them and if you can't beat them join them as they say. As I've got older I've become very interested in that part of the work.

I just don't feel much interested in the lifestyles of the rich and famous.

It wasn't glamorous in my day. In the regions reporters were seen as such low life that they didn't merit their name in the Radio Times. Now people are interested in being famous. I never gave it a thought.

Being famous is just like being in high school. But I'm not interested in being the cheerleader. I'm not interested in being Gwen Stefani. She's the cheerleader and I'm out in the smoker shed.

I'm more interested in being good than being famous.

We are not interested in cloning the Michael Jordans and the Michael Jacksons of this world. The rich and the famous don't participate in this.

I think the driving thing was curiosity about the universe. That fascinated me. I didn't think anything about being famous or anything like that I was just interested in the concepts involved.

I was never very interested in boys - and there were plenty of them - vying with one another to see how many famous women they would get into the hay.

Because I didn't have brothers I was always interested in the kids down the street that had four brothers in their family so I became one of them - but it was not my family.
