I don't have moments of weakness. I'm Rik Mayall.

I had a very happy childhood, happy teenage years and I was famous by the time I was 22. A charmed life.

I was in a coma for five days - I was dead longer than Jesus before he was raised from the dead.

I was brought up to be a good boy and proud of myself so I suppress all the things about me that are bad.

Other people get moody in their forties and fifties - men get the male menopause. I missed the whole thing. I was just really happy.

I live on the limit, Vyvyan. The limit, because I'm a rider at the gates of dawn and I take no prisoners!

On stage you can group 200 people together and scare them or embarrass them or whatever. You can't do that on TV. You have to use the conventions, that's why Kevin (Turvey) works so well.

Success is not what I've done compared with what others have done. Success is what I've done compared with what God has called me to do.

Wearing a $1, 000 suit and driving a Ferrari may be better than riding around in a beaten-uppickup truck, but when it’s all said and done, it’ll be the experiences you remember, not the stuff.

Where is miracle? None they can’t see.Where is hope? I only see light on the sea.

A man might as well hope to fight a swarm of flies with a sword as to master his own thoughts when they are set on by the devil.

His sanguine spirit turns every firefly into a star.

My life has been awaiting you. Your footfall was my own heart's beat.

There is a touch of divinity even in brutes, and a special halo about a horse, that should forever exempt him from indignities.

I hide my grief, just like the blessed birds hide themselves when they are preparing to die, my love.

Vulgarity is simply the conduct of other people.

Time passed slowly, like and old man climbing a hill.
