Comedy

"I don't like telling people where I stand on this, although I'm surprised anybody wonders. I suppose if I say I'm pro-choice, if I make that clear, it let's the audience off the hook, then they can sort of relax. Okay, it's alright he's pro-choice then I can enjoy this."
People
"In particular, people have trouble understanding where I stand in relation to my characters, and very often this gets reduced to me making vicious fun of them."
