QUOTES: “The evidence which links the Hitler regime with today's EU is dynamite.”
“Nelson Mandela’s legacy is a murderous one, comparable, in its racist and economic persecution of a minority, to the Nazis’ treatment of the Jews.”
“I tried for years to get Rowan to take the 'nerd on a park bench eating his lunch' character, which he used in his one-man show, and expand it into a series which would 'go international'… The universal nature of silent comedy and its international appeal was obvious and Rowan had created the basic character already…. I got no royalty."
