I've done panel shows, which I enjoy, and on those you're recording half-an-hour of TV and sometimes they film for two hours.

I always say to anybody who's going over to America for the first time, 'Whatever you do, go and see a popular mainstream film with a big audience.' Because people shout out. You never get that in Britain. Everybody's so quiet, scared to laugh. It's like being in church. ↗
