My forte is playing drunks down the ages. When my agent rings me about a role, I don't ask what the part is, but what century it's in.

I've got little ankles and a bit of a belly, so it makes me look rather an egg on legs.

Writing a book about yourself is like therapy, and you go 'Oh My God, that's the reason that happened.' Writing about it, you're forced to really examine things.

It is easy for me to love myself, but for ladies to do it is another question altogether.

I believe that Britain is becoming more class-conscious, and I quake at the very idea of Old Etonians ruling the world again.

I had a massive amount of self-belief when I did stand-up.

I trained to be a priest - started to. I went to seminary school when I was 11. I wanted to be a priest, but when they told me I could never have sex, not even on my birthday, I changed my mind.
