For some reason, I find that in the course of my career I've worked with more women than most men have.

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 grew up in a house of forthright women.

I'm a Hawaiian shirt guy. I've made that life decision.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be serious, like Daniel Day-Lewis. No one really dreams of being a comic actor, do they? Now I realise how stupid that is - and it's because comic acting isn't taken seriously enough. It's a discipline. You know instantly - either you're funny and getting the laughs, or you're not.

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

Reviewers are the worst laughers in the world.
