By a lot of peoples standards, I lived a very privileged life. I never wanted for attention, I never wanted for material things. In some ways, I was probably spoiled because I never had to share. And I was doted on.

I realised that if you get yourself labeled as the funny one, people don't look any further. I've used that as I've got older. It's controlling: I decide what part of my personality you're seeing. I don't want you to look at me, I really don't. I don't want you to comment on my clothes, my hair or the way I look.

I'm an incredibly negative person, so any form of success is only ever going to be a relief to me and set my default position back to neutral.

I'm not frightened of a bit of silence.

I'm naturally quite lazy, and I actually think I'm lax about my career. None of my work defines who I am.

At my core, the glass isn't half-empty, it's not even what I ordered in the first place.

My advice to you is please don't ever sit in your room and lock yourself away because you don't think you're good enough.
