A foolproof plan for not getting a job - show up for your interview wearing flip flops.

I liked the idea of all of humanity fitting inside a sugar cube because more than 99.9% of matter is space.

I like pubs too, but it's hard for me to go and get proper bladdered in the way I used to. I don't want to moan about being recognised but I do get a bit of grief sometimes.

I'm quite a curious person. I don't mind being the one who doesn't know things, a role I often play in QI.

There's a lot to do when you're a kid - spiders to catch, girls to poke in the eye - stuff to be getting on with.

I'm not a great shopper but I do buy a lot of books. I'm the publishers' friend - I buy a hundred books a year and read four.

I see myself as a comic but the acting helps sell tickets for gigs.
