Sometimes you shoot for 40 or 50 hours for a one-hour show, and you have to make some very hard choices.

Sometimes people think I'm sort of a Machiavelli who is thinking, 'How can I disarm people? I know: I'll create a persona; I'll get some spectacles, and when I meet you, I'll say, 'How are you doing?' And I will be very unassuming and polite and never get angry.'

If you chase fame, you make bad choices. Being famous isn't interesting.

I never misrepresent my position - you've got to be strong enough to make the argument and marshal the case.

I feel like, if there's an elephant in the room, I'd really like to start off by introducing the elephant in the room. And sometimes it's funny.

In the past, I've tried to show the human side of people involved in stigmatised or misunderstood lifestyles. I've tried to resist easy judgments and not pander to prejudices.
