-
As a famous person you sorta [sort of] read about yourself, gossip and Twitter and everything.
-
And one thing kept cropping up, even when I was preparing for this tour, they were saying, "Oh, he's out of touch. He's so famous. He's rich. He's mega-rich."
-
I am.
-
I could have this place burned down for a laugh.
-
No, but they say things like, "Oh, he's an observational comedian. How can he say things that relate to ordinary scum?"
-
And I say, "Don't call 'em scum, alright?"
-
But even the papers, they try and get around to it.
-
I do interviews and they always wanna say, "Oh, do you always fly first class?"
-
I go, "No, often private."
-
The number of times I've answered this question, they say, "Do you know how much a pint of milk is?"
-
It's meant to make you look out of touch and I don't know, but that's irrelevant.
-
Next time a journalist asks me that, I'm gonna say, "I don't know, mate, but here's a grand. Run and get me one, will ya?"
-
"Is that enough?"
-
Another question that I always get, particularly with the posh papers, the Sundays, they're doing a profile piece, and they're still trying to alienate you and make you look different and they always say things like, "No, you don't have children."
-
I say, "No."
-
They say, "Why don't you have children?"
-
Which is a really odd question to ask someone, "Why don't you have children," as opposed to asking people, "Why do you have children?"
-
Let's ask the fat lady in the leggings why she's had eight.
-
Shall we?
-
Oh, nine.
-
That one just fell out.
-
That one didn't even touch the sides or disturb her cigarette.
-
"Go and claim for that."
-
People say, "Oh, it's selfish to not have children."
-
How can it be selfish to not bring a life into the world that doesn't exist on any level?
-
It's not like there's a long cabinet full of potential ghost fetuses going, "We wanna be born."
-
But I've thought about it and there's three reasons I don't have children.
-
Three main reasons I don't have children.
-
I'll share them with you, three reasons.
-
One, there's millions.
-
The world's overpopulated.
-
No one's sitting around going, "Oh, Rick's not having kids, we're gonna run out."
-
Two, kids are scroungers, aren't they?
-
From day one, it's all, "Me, me, me."
-
Isn't it?
-
"Feed me, clothe me, pay for my chemotherapy."
-
"Not my problem, son. Luck of the draw, boy, luck of the draw."
-
It costs the average household in the west 200,000 USD to bring up a child and you don't see that back.
-
They don't wanna pay you back.
-
They're not grateful.
-
They don't go, "Thanks for having me," everyday.
-
They're going, "I didn't wanna be born."
-
Even if they get a top job, which they won't, you'll never see that money back.
-
They'll just put you in a home and my kid, he'd born into ridiculous wealth, wouldn't he? So...
-
He'd be a little cunt.
-
A little Hampstead cunt, running around with all the other fucking little Hampstead cunts, being all Hampstead and cunty.
-
"I'm a little Hampstead cunt."
-
"Yes, I know."
-
"These are my little cunty friends."
-
"Yeah, I know, it's obvious."
-
"I can tell from your little fucking cunty hats that you're little Hampstead cunts, you little posh Hampstead cunts."
-
And on the one hand, he'd know he was a little fucking Hampstead cunt.
-
"I'm a little Hampstead cunt."
-
Yes, we know, everyone knows.
-
We know that, right?
-
On the other hand, he'd know that he could never live up to being as brilliant as his dad, right?
-
I'd say, "You know, I worked from nothing and I gave it to you and you're just a little useless Hampstead cunt."
-
That would probably prey on his little mind a bit, wouldn't it?
-
11, 12, he'd be a naughty boy, run with the wrong crowd, try and get out from under my shadow, right?
-
Then he'd turn to drugs and at about 30, he'd come home and he'd overdose on my Afghan rug.
-
Twenty grand, that was.
-
And as he was there, convulsing and throwing up his fucking lungs, and with his little posh high-pitched fucking death rattle, his little fucking dying words, he'd go, "Do you love me now, Daddy?"
-
"No!"
-
I never did, and that's why you're never going to be born, you useless fucking junkie Hampstead cunt."
