ENFj perhaps? He reminds me of Peter Sellers (type=?) in the way they both did silly voices and eccentric characters, though Cook did a wider range.
Adding a few quotes I just found:
- I think I ran out of ambition at 24... Indolent. I see nothing wrong with that. (I have a hard time imagining someone of a
quadra saying this.)
- Playing rugby at school I once fell on a loose ball and, through ignorance and fear, held on despite a fierce pummeling. After that it took me months to convince my team-mates I was a coward.
- The most ordinary thing like appearing on Clive James fills me with panic, I don't much enjoy being on television. I'd rather be sarcastic to myself. I'd rather do it for a few people socially, but it would be a bit rude to take up a collection after dinner.
- There's terrific merit in having no sense of humour, no sense of irony, practically no sense of anything at all. If you're born with these so-called defects you have a very good chance of getting to the top. (Critical of
/
social climbing and maybe - to a small degree - the Serious dichotomy.)
- I may have done some other things as good but I am sure none better. I haven't matured, progressed, grown, become deeper, wiser, or funnier. But then, I never thought I would.
- Tragically I was an only twin. (a joke)

Added commentary to some of the quotes.

He reminds me of our Gilly. Very much.![]()
