  • Bill Bailey: “A lot of people say there’s a fine line between genius and insanity. I don’t think there’s a fine line, I actually think there’s a yawning gulf. You see some poor bugger scuffling up the road with balloons tied to his ears, he’s not going home to invent a rocket, is he?"
  • Jackie Chan: "Rolling! Action! Jump! Cut! Hospital!"

    • “I've got a little baby, I made him…He doesn't speak, he’s 2…He’s a slow learner, he’s only got 2 words…car and map…I'm slightly worried he’s trying to escape. If his next word is passport we are in serious trouble!”

  • Russel Brand: "Thank you for for being so kind to me about my physical appearance. But of course beauty is transient and one day you and I will both die, Jonathan. We'll be nought but dust... Not today though! Today's going to be lovely!"
