I'd never been to acting school, so I never thought I'd get this far.

In L.A., though, people get off busses calling themselves actors, so many are really not professionals.

I never went to drama school, so that was more like I was getting away with it.

[At Conventions] they give me all the photos to sign. Star Wars, Superman. And Hammy the Pig is right up there.

I look at the calendar. If it's a nice place, I go, like I did in London when it came to choosing to do a film. I always choose the best locations. New Orleans. That's fun. I'm available. Let's go.

Of course, I had a crush on Princess Leia. I really wanted to ask her out, back to my place, or something. But at the time, I was living in a squat on Fitzroy Road in Primrose Hill. It was pretty derelict. So what was I going do? Ask her to come back with me and watch me catch mice?

Sure, the comedians who swear or use scatological humor can get laughs, but they're uncomfortable laughs.
