He added: "It's like picking a scab. I have gone a few weeks without looking at it and it divorces you from the slurry of casual vindictiveness."

Brand also said that he had been a little careful hosting Video Music Awards this year unlike the last time when he called then US president George W. Bush a "retarded cowboy fella."

He said: "Last year at the VMAs there were death threats, so obviously this year it was deliberately designed not to cause anyone any bother, but be funny and confident.
