Nobody wants to end up super rich and famous - but divorced. I'm always clear on that and try to stay on the right side of the line.

When famous people come up to you it's a bit weird, but it's an honour, really, when they recognise you and want to chat to you for a bit.

I was very famous as a young man and I celebrated both the good and bad times with drinking.

But I didn't ask to have somebody nose around in my private life. I didn't even ask to be famous. All I asked was to be able to earn a living making people laugh.

You can become famous but you can't become unfamous. You can become infamous but not unfamous.

Being famous is great, it's not like bad or horrible or anything.

I love being famous - it's phenomenal.

Being famous is not something that would make me feel successful - unless one was striving for mediocrity.

There are a lot of good things about being famous but there are a few not so good things too.

I hope this doesn't sound pompous but I don't think of myself as famous, whatever fame I've got has come through what I've done and associations of things I've done.
