  • Quotes
    As I get older I look at my first kids and realise how terribly I short-changed them. They all somehow grew up to be incredibly nice and kind. But I think this was because they grew up trying to work out how to please their rampaging, dysfunctional father.
  • Trademarks
      Known for his deadpan style and dry sense of humour.
