And there you go - you're all set to go into business - just slap a sign out front.”

I would have given a great deal to have had that information at the time.”

They tried to teach me how to work the till and I'm useless with numbers, so I was making it all up as I went along. I must have lost them tons of money.”

I'm not saying the reaction was justified but there's definitely a line when you're doing comedy or satire and how it might affect somebody. That's the thing you have to watch and I think you have to be respectful of it.”
