I'm never overawed by a situation and I think that's because I've always looked several years older than I am. So because people were treating me like I was 40 when I was 29, I've always felt in control of a situation. People used to say, when you're 32, you'll look 32. I'm still waiting for that moment, where my age catches up with my appearance.

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

For most of my life, I've been, ‘Hey, I'm not into it, but I respect your right to believe whatever you want'. But as time goes on, weirdly, I'm growing less liberal. I'm more like, 'No, religion is ruining the world, you need to stop!’

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

I would be nothing if it wasn't for the town where I grew up and the people who gave me my inspiration.

I don't think the public here buy this idea that women and men speak different comedic languages.

Success is absolutely intoxicating. I've seen people behave in ways that seem very far from how they would behave normally.
