Basically, I'm a really bad interviewer. I love meeting celebrities, but then I get a bit bored. Once you meet them you thing, 'really, what an ordinary person'.

Those years between drama school and getting onto the stand-up circuit were pretty lean.

I don't think anyone wants to be gay.

I have nothing to say about my childhood. It was a perfectly pleasant upbringing - it's not like it was unhappy or anything.

I was a failed actor but I still wanted to show off, so I ended up doing live comedy.

Occasionally the state of the planet can knock me off my perky perch.

I am camp. Lots of gay men can't cope with their campness. They are in denial about it.
