I've always said that with kids' TV that people get stuck in it from drama school but that's not fair because I know myself that when you go in creatively, kids are so much more open to ideas. You're so much freer to mess about and try things.

I am a big fan of smelly cheeses but the rest of the family don't seem to be particularly keen on them.

I actually enjoy being heckled; it keeps it interesting, and I think it is a nice feeling for people once they have left the show.

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

I've always been looking for other people's approval.

Health-wise, I couldn't have said what my life expectancy would've been if I'd just carried on doing solid blocks of stand-up.

You don't want to be flattered and become big-headed by getting awards. But, well, I am.
