My agent once said, 'You're not very driven.' And it's true. I'm not the type to ring up and go, 'Get me this part!'

You know, there's that temptation in interviews to make yourself sound - well, to give yourself a bit of mystery.

Class still matters in Britain today.

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 hate flying, airports and the whole rigmarole - queuing up, security and lost luggage.

Some comics are in it for what they can get out of it. Others are in it for a love of comedy. I think those that are in it for a genuine love of comedy find each other within the circuit and become friends.

I always feel like an interloper when I do serious drama. It's my own paranoia.
