When I was about 13 I realised girls weren't going to kiss me because I was a gigantic, weird looking creature from the depths. I was like 6 ft. aged 11.

I'm probably working on three different scripts at any time, so there's never a time where I've got nothing to do.

All of this talk of recession offends me. I am delighted that bankers have less money.

A guy who's actually self destructive is quite fun to play.

There tends to be a jealousy in England towards countries that are successful.

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

When I say I hate nostalgia, I hate things set in the recent past where everything is shiny and new.
