If I was to get into Twitter I'd expose myself to people who adore me or people who absolutely hated me. Neither of those are useful to my soul.
Quote by -Russell Howard
Question Time' is a nice forum for reasoned political debate. There's no point having me on there trying to crack jokes.
Quote by -Russell Howard
If you're doing 70 gigs in a tour, there's a lot of responsibility. People need a big night out, and you're providing it.
Quote by -Russell Howard
Britain is perceived as a laughing stock and a mess. It's a very scary and divided place.
Quote by -Russell Howard
Because I don't wear a suit, and have such a horrible boy band face, people assume that I'm not doing satirical material.
Quote by -Russell Howard
Audiences around the world are all pretty similar. People just rock up and want to have a laugh, although Americans whoop more than English crowds.
Quote by -Russell Howard
I don't want to be one of those comics who says, 'Hey, what's wrong with air travel?' and stuff like that.
Quote by -Russell Howard
There's a lot of brilliant comics who are amazing, but you can see them doing the same 20 minutes that they were doing five years ago, verbatim. I think that doesn't lend itself to progressing.
Quote by -Russell Howard
I wanna be incidental characters in 'Only Fools and Horses,' that would have been good. I wouldn't mind playing Trigger, Trigger would have been good.
Quote by -Russell Howard
It's just a joy travelling with your job. You get to wander around these interesting cities and then things happen or you observe things and you go on stage at the end of the night and chat about it.
Quote by -Russell Howard
Sometimes improv doesn't work on TV because the audience had heard the thing that was shouted and they're very much alive, the audience in the room - they're alive in that moment. Whereas the audience sat at home on the sofa, it feels like it's part of a party that they haven't been invited to.
Quote by -Russell Howard
I just couldn't do a comedy show about 'The History Of Dinosaurs;' I'd get bored too easily.
Quote by -Russell Howard
The Edinburgh Fringe is a tough beast and you do whatever you can to get through it. But it's really the worst place to see comedians; everyone is so tense and nervous because it feels like Ofsted inspectors are out there.
Quote by -Russell Howard
I'd been writing jokes since I was 16, not very good ones though, but I was always trying to make my mates laugh.
Quote by -Russell Howard
I find it really weird, when I'm shopping in Tesco, the amount of times I have people like: 'What you doing in here? You're famous!'
Quote by -Russell Howard
If you want any attention in the Howard household, you have to shout quite loudly and try to develop a personality.
Quote by -Russell Howard
Mumbai was magical, which I was really surprised by, and I got an insight into the world of Bollywood while hanging out with some Bollywood film stars while there.
Quote by -Russell Howard
Los Angeles feels empty and overrated. I struggle with it as a holiday destination. It's the sort of place where you need to know some locals, otherwise it just feels so empty.
Quote by -Russell Howard
Real life is hard. I'm sorry, but shopping at Tesco is not as much fun as writing jokes for TV shows, and I struggle with it.
Quote by -Russell Howard
The last thing you want to do is preach to the converted. What you want to do is talk about issues from a non-political point of view, from a human point of view.
Quote by -Russell Howard
Sometimes I skip breakfast, pop to the butcher and get sunburned while cooking meat.
Quote by -Russell Howard
I'll sit down for 'Stranger Things' or 'The Handmaid's Tale' - or a really good documentary.
Quote by -Russell Howard
I think all our leaders are utterly beneath us. You just watch 'Prime Minister's Questions' and go: 'How is this the best that we've got?'
Quote by -Russell Howard
I'm really not into technology at all. My brother has to plug the Xbox in for me.
Quote by -Russell Howard
When you see the American chat shows, they've got so many ideas about what they could with the guests. I did stand-up on 'Jimmy Fallon' and they had loads of sketches and ideas, we don't tend to do that here.
Quote by -Russell Howard
If the front-page news is a comedian doing a joke that people think is naughty, that proves there's no real news that day, does it not?
Quote by -Russell Howard
The strange thing about people considering me upbeat is that I'm really not.
Quote by -Russell Howard
Genuinely, the first gig I did when I was 18, it felt like the world shifted. I realised that I had stumbled upon a mechanism through which you could view life.
Quote by -Russell Howard
I'm a very early riser on holiday. I am invariably down at the pool on a sun lounger even before anyone can put a towel on one.
Quote by -Russell Howard
Tommy Tiernan is an Irish comic who I believe is one of the finest in the world.
Quote by -Russell Howard
At a gig in Liverpool I had this lady give me 21 cup cakes she had made herself. It's not really rock'n'roll is it? Tom Jones gets pants thrown at him and I get given fairy cakes.
