“Barrie and the wonderful characters he created, Lewis Carroll, even French literature, like Baudelaire or over in the States, Poe, you open those books, you open The Flowers of Evil and begin to read.

“I think most comedians go through that (period), where you have to change or evolve. You don't want to just keep doing variations on the same themes.
