I'm not a political thinker, but I've just always thought of myself as a Labour supporter. I was a great fan of Tony Blair. He sent me a letter before I swam the Channel to wish me luck.

I know somebody from university who's called Phil Collins, and I think there's something terribly unfortunate about sharing a name with somebody who either is famous or becomes famous.

I haven't traditionally been a family entertainer.

We've got 12-year-old boys dressing up as transvestites.

I have always liked shows that have laughter in them.

I thrive off the company of others, I love being sociable.

I was the kind of person who got bullied and loved the attention of it.
