The problem i have with all this religion stuff is that i can't relate to it. i think most people got into 'cos it gave them something to do on a sunday, but since all the shops are now open it isn't required as much.

More From Karl Pilkington

It was miraculous. it was almost no trick at all, he saw, to turn vice into virtue and slander into truth, impotence into abstinence, arrogance into humility, plunder into philanthropy, thievery into honor, blasphemy into wisdom, brutality into patriotism, and sadism into justice. anybody could do it; it required no brains at all. it merely required no character.

I asked for strength, and god gave me difficulties to make me strong. i asked for wisdom, and god gave me problems to learn to solve. i asked for prosperity, and god gave me a brain and brawn to work. i asked for courage, and god gave me dangers to overcome. i asked for love, and god gave me people to help. i asked for favors, and god gave me opportunities. i received nothing i wanted. i received everything i needed.

I've been saying for a couple of years now that people need to let god out of the sunday morning box, that he doesn't want to just be with you for an hour or two on sunday morning and then put back in his box to sit there until you have an emergency, but he wants to invade your monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday, saturday, and sunday.

The religion of which you are a part is 7 days a week. it isn't just sunday, it isn't the block plan, it isn't just 3 hours in church, it isn't just the time you spend in seminary - it's all the time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

What brighton's got is a major sea port on either side, good for importing drugs, great for exporting cash, stolen cars, stolen antiques. it's got the largest number of antique shops in the uk, so it's a great place to fence stolen goods. it's got tremendous communication: you've got the sea ports, you've got the channel tunnel, you've got gatwick airport 25 minutes away, and london's 50 minutes away by train. so all these escape routes... which is what villains like.

What intrigues me is that people kind of naturally want to label or pigeonhole the characters. they want to make it easy for themselves to go, "all right. there's the good guy, there's the bad guy, there's the girl. okay, i get it now." but life isn't one-dimensional. the world isn't simply divided into good versus evil. i think we're all capable of both. so any time the hero does something i'm not crazy about, or the bad guy does something i can relate to, i'll find it more interesting.

""dear girl," continued bob advancing with an imbecile grin upon his countenance, which he imagined no doubt to be a seductive smile, "fly with me! be mine! share with me the wild free life of a barrister! say that you return the love which consumes my heart - oh, say it!" here bob put his hand over a hole in his waistcoat and struck a dramatic attitude.

Girls were born knowing how destructive the truth could be. they learned to hold it in, tamp it down, like gunpowder in an old fashioned gun. then it exploded in your face on a november day in the rain.

My fear is that i go up to the girl of my dreams and say 'i'm sorry, but i've got to say hello to you,' and she slides the stool back and gets up and walks away, saying, 'not for me, bub. i don't want anything to do with you.'

I recognize that i have a unique position to be a role model to young girls because i am doing something that they consider glamorous, which is acting, and yet i took a time to really get my education and study mathematics, and i think math is the cat's meow.
