Ten Questions with Matt Berry - Page 3

8. Is it or is it not acceptable to use the word 'cunt' in polite conversation in England? Also, please explain this whole fuck/shag thing. Keep in mind, I'm an American and confuse easily.

You cannot drop cunt at a dinner table or in front of any persons you don't know as, the negatives far outweigh the positives. What most people seem to do, is wait for the most offendable person to use the word and take that as their cue to drop it themselves. Cunt is still the big one, and a word that divides most people here. People who are totally opposed and offended by that word should take note that there are many cunts out there ready and waiting to ease their lives into chaos so, if they can think of a better word to describe such people then please come forward.

Shag: An outdated, lame and lazy alternative word for people who are too afraid to say fuck. The only US equivalent I can think of would be 'swell' in response to good news... you get what I’m trying to say.

9. A recent comment about you on Youtube said simply that you were "the sexxx." Are you, indeed, the sexxx?

Yes [without hesitation].

10. What are you working on right now?

I have just finished the fourth series of The IT Crowd here in the UK and am due to fly to North Carolina in a few days time to make a film with Steve Agee from the Sarah Silverman program. Steve is a brilliant comic and friend so I'm very much looking forward to that, and then I will return to London and launch straight into the recording of my third album which will be titled Music For Insomniacs and will blow your fucking minds into space.
