I was always being called upon to be an honorary boy alongside my brothers. I don't think I'd be a comic now if it hadn't been for that.

I like men. They are hugely entertaining, but they have a lot of shortcomings and you just have to bear those in mind.

When you get to know someone, you find there's something nasty in their woodshed.

I think a lot of women are incredibly tough and they're just really admirable. Especially the way that, given what they've got, they just manage to carry on.

They say revenge is a dish best eaten cold, but for most people, by the time it's ready to eat, they just don't fancy it any more.

I don't know if we will ever try again because those sort of things are very hard to organise but yes, I've known Doon for years and John as well but I hadn't met Will before, and he turned out to be a good laugh.

It's actually very hard when you're settled in one place to completely uproot yourself and go.
