Jimmy Carr: Cytaty po angielsku

“I'm a stand-up. And no one on the circuit's terribly impressed if you're on TV. I suppose I've stolen my ethos from Jay Leno. You can do all the TV in the world, but that's a team game, and anyone can be dropped from the squad. And if you haven't gigged in a while, you're not firing, you're not match fit. So I try and do it whenever I can.”

Paddy Hoey (July 15, 2005) "Carr's a comic with universal appeal", Daily Post.

“I did quite a lot of TV shows over the latter half of 2004 - all those 100 Greatest and 100 Worst and all that kind of stuff. So I was a little bit overexposed. But I think you need to do that once in your career, and that's how you become famous. You get overexposed once, and then people know your name and you can relax a bit.”

Nick Ahad (November 19, 2004) "Comedian who delivers some nice lines", Yorkshire Post.

Will Hodgkinson (December 16, 2004) "Comedy's overgrown schoolboy", The Irish Times.

“To me, my approach is the most sensible. You're a comic. Therefore you want to get laughs. How do you get the most laughs in an hour? Tell short jokes. And don't say boom boom at the end. Just let the audience laugh then tell another joke. It's the shortest route to where you want to go.”

Charles Hutchinson (November 19, 2004) "Preview: Jimmy Carr , Grand Opera House, York November 20", North Yorkshire County Publications.

“The great thing about being a comedian is that it kind of doesn't matter how you look. It's actually a disadvantage to be too good-looking. There's a Darwinian advantage to being funny. If you're a good-looking fella, you can't be bothered to make up jokes.”
