I just like to build. Don’t get me wrong: I think stand-up is great, and when someone like Richard Pryor or Steve Martin does stand-up, there’s nothing better in the world.

I hate recycling. I don’t think it exists. I think they’ve made it up to give people jobs. They deliver these stupid little Tupperware boxes and tell me, ‘You’re not using your recycling box!’ Who are they? They’re not the police. Noel Fielding Read Quote
Fame is like being at a party and getting invited into the cool room even the VIPs can’t get into, then the even cooler, more exclusive room after that. Eventually, you end up in a cubicle on your own, asking, ‘Am I having fun?’ Noel Fielding Read Quote
