Peter Kay's Quotes
- Being a comedian is the only job I've ever managed to keep for a long period of time. In all my other jobs after a while it got to the point where it was like I wasn't there. Hey I bet my former bosses are sat right now saying, "You're damn right you wasn't there, that's why you're not there now!" but I guess I never settled because I wasn't meant to pack toilet rolls or stack shelves, I was destined to make people laugh.
- My best job before being a stand-up would have to be when I was usher at my local cinema in Bolton, I got to see all the movies for free, got free sweets and I told people endings of films as they were going in, like "I didn't know Al Pacino was in Ghost (1990)", the bad thing was I had to go on a course to learn how to thread ticket stubs on a needle and thread.
- [on Car Share (2015)] We did spend a lot of time selecting the music, probably more than writing!
- I think sometimes you've got to just leave things. You need good ideas - that's the problem. You need good strong stories. A lot of series tend to go on for one series too many, especially with comedies, and I think people say 'ooh, it's gone off, that'.
