Well, when you're the youngest of five, parents kind of lose interest more and more through the children. I think my eldest brother was under loads of pressure to do something amazing with his life, but by the time I came around they were like, 'Well, let's hope he doesn't kill a guy.'

I think there's something in the fact that it's hard to be good looking and funny. You have to have an oddball quality; people have to sympathise with you to find you funny.

I'd like my super power to be puns; I'd like to be great at puns: pun power. Then I could go on loads of panel shows and live off that forever.

Being at the genesis of the creative process is definitely something I want to keep doing. It's just such a great buzz.

I don't mind being slightly fat-ish, I just don't want to be fat.

Comedy writing is taking the brief thought and going with it.

I'm a huge, huge believer in love. Huge!
