Simon: I personally don't like cringe comedy. I hate embarrassment, I have a thing about it.

Simon: (On the remake of Spaced now not going ahead) I'd hesitate to sort of cheer just because I know there are obviously other actors involved in it. But the fact is it went ahead without our sort of... anything to do with us and we were a little bit disappointed. So the fact that it's not being picked up is good news for us I guess.

Simon: It's our baby, but it is theirs now. (edit) Simon: "Appearing on TV wasn't the goal with me, I always wanted to be an actor and comedian. My knee was on the news once, though. That was pretty amazing at the time." (edit) Simon: "TV used to be like an emissary from another world in the corner of your room. It was like a cinema, something programmed by someone else. Now you have even more control over it whereas before it used to have control over you. It's gone from being a theatre to being a trashy magazine." (edit)
