Quotes
- “Few women care to be laughed at and men not at all, except for large sums of money.”
- “There are very few people on top of life, and the rest of us don't like them very much.”
- “A comedy is just a tragedy interrupted, I once said. Do you finish with the kiss or when she opens her eyes to tell him she loves him and sees blonde hairs on his collar?”
- “The darker the subject, the more light you must try to shed on the matter. And vice versa.”
- “They've started this filthy floodlit cricket with cricketers wearing tin hats and advertisements for contraceptives on their boots.”
