- Simon: (hitting back after Ricky Gervais said there'd been no good British films since 1950) He [Ricky] says a lot of things, that man. He said there had been no good British films since 1950. What an idiot. I've seen people go (to LA) and suddenly become rake thin because there is a slight pressure on you to be thin. I've also seen a lot of fat people there. He's one of the fat people in LA, yes.

- Simon: (revealing he has designs on writing a new "Star Wars" story) I might try to wheedle my way back into the affections of Lucasfilm (George Lucas's production company) and write an episode of the new live action Star Wars TV series.

- Simon: (on the possibility of playing the Doctor on "Doctor Who") Being the Doctor? I don't think so. I'm really loving doing movies. I'm really enjoying working in the US. [...] I would feel awful if I messed up the franchise by just being rubbish.
