Indy, this is the bit of interview I mentioned. It's about 40 minutes into that BBC interview.

Greg: "Try to be happy occasionally. Someone asked for my advice once on a web thing and I said, “Fall in love!”"

Interviewer man: "Fall in love? That’s one of the greatest sources of misery."

Greg: "It can make you miserable, but there’s... it’s on the other side of it. Respect women. Be nice to people. Don’t yell at people. Don’t be a jerk to people. These are all important things.

I don’t know if it makes you happier, but it makes life go smoother. I’ve known people – some of them are very close to me – who are at war with the world. The world is attacking them every moment. Everyone is an enemy. Nothing’s going their way; no one’s doing what they want them to do. And they live their life in that. You know what I mean? And I don’t think that that’s a really good way to live.

Now if you see me on stage, I’m vicious, I’m vindictive, I’m angry. And these are often pulled from my personality. I’m not saying I’m Mr. Zen Master; I’m learning all the time. And I’m trying to remind myself all the time to do these things. To enjoy my life and stuff. Oh, you know, I’ll get all wound up and I’ll go “Oh, these sons of bitches; they’re not doing what I want.” And my wife will go, “Have you thought of enjoying yourself?” And I’ll go, “Oh, I hate it when you’re... I’ve thought of it, but I’m having more fun, you know, feeling sorry for myself.”"

And this has nothing to do with anything, but it makes me smile: (talking about doing a cooking show with his wife) "See, 'cause I'm a terrible cook and the whole show would be, like, me sitting in the corner going, "That looks good." And then she'd go, "Chop these. Could you chop these? Could you chop them finer?" And I'd be like, "What, I'm chopping them!" Like, 'cause I'm an idiot."

I love how he talks like a valley girl. ^_^
