"This word offence… religious offence makes me crazy because I think what we in Western society have fought for, for so many years is the right to cause offence. Offence often makes people think, it makes them angry. And people who cannot live with offence just makes me crazy. I'm not saying the rest of the world should be living like this, but this is what Western civilisation has really been about, really I suppose from the Age of Enlightenment.
The bills that they were trying to push through [the British] Parliament are ridiculous. Half of what we do in comedy would be potentially illegal. I always live by the rule that sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me. I like to keep it simple."
And Tideland was really great, btw.
