I was depressed as a child. I found it hard to make friends. My favourite thing was locking myself in the bathroom and practising comedy routines.

I haven't traditionally been a family entertainer.

I would recommend that anyone who wants to do comedy on TV to do radio first.

I've just swum the length of the Thames. I feel quite tired.

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

It can be difficult to be subtle and not cartoony in prosthetics. But when you see characters like Bubbles and Desiree from 'Little Britain' on screen, it makes all the hard work worth it. It's such fun watching those transformations.

I just want to be happy, have kids, enjoy my life, help others and create some good work.
