Nobody in this country goes around saying: ‘I’m feeling very oppressed by the E.U.’ Well, one or two people do, but they’re a bit odd. Ultimately, if they’re getting oppressed by the E.U., they’re going to start to feel oppressed by something else and just switch to a new subject of oppression.

I love what I do. I’m appreciative and I’m still competitive. I still love baseball, but it doesn’t consume me. If I can’t do it anymore, then I go home and do something else. It’s not the end of the world. It’s just the end of your career.
I loved plays, I loved films, but I had no desire to act until I had just put out my album ‘Like Water for Chocolate.’ Creatively, I felt like I’d hit a ceiling, and I needed something else to express myself, and I just decided to take acting classes.

What’s amazing is that I’m recognized all over the world through ‘Red Dwarf.’ British fans are exceptional, but the American fans are something else. Some of them fly 500 miles to stand in line for three hours, just to meet me, then when they do they collapse. It makes you feel like a rock star!
We are cannibalizing our audience by only giving them regurgitated material. Every movie is either a remake, a sequel, based on something else. Based on a former television series. Based on a successful videogame.

Standup comedy is inordinately difficult. If doing something else for a living will make you equally happy, choose that instead. I’m serious. Comedy is punishing.
My pug dog, Princess , is something else; she’s my baby. I’ve had her for about 14 and a half years. They usually don’t live any longer than 15, but I don’t believe that. As long as you treat them right, they will live a long time.
My mother was a very beautiful lady, I thought. She was very good to me. I guess – she died when I was nine and a half, but if she had lived, I probably wouldn’t be trying to play guitar. She wanted me to be known, but as something else. Not a guitar player.
I like what I’m doing. If I didn’t like what I was doing, I’d be doing something else.
