There were a few teachers who just did not like me because of my face. Once, I was told to stand in the corner until I cheered up. The attitude was, 'Oh, for God's sake, what's the matter with him?' But it's just a natural expression. Jack Dee attitudecheercorner share on social
If I've inadvertently become some sort of role model for failed comedians, then it's really backfired very badly on me. Jack Dee backfirebadlycomedian Change image and share on social
Mmmm... the comedy that matters is the comedy you pull out of thin air. It's a bit like when something funny has happened and you try to explain it to someone else and end up saying, 'You had to be there.' Jack Dee airbitecomedy share on social
I took religion much too seriously, however, and its overall effect was depressing. I would have really liked to discard it, but somehow I couldn't. Jack Dee depressdiscardeffect Change image and share on social
I have had issues with depression all my life, and it's probably true to say there was a tendency towards it even when I was very young, during my schooldays. There was often - and this is quite common with comics - a sense of not feeling as if I belonged anywhere. Jack Dee belongcomiccommon share on social
I'm just part of a tradition of people who aren't pleased. I would never think anyone else who has the same attitude was getting it from me. I'd just think they're... sensible. Jack Dee attitudepartpeople Change image and share on social
The jokes are great but what really matters for a comedian is his performance, his whole attitude, and the laughs that he gets between the jokes rather than on top of the jokes. Jack Dee attitudecomediangreat Change image and share on social
