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

With stand-up you've just got that one chance. Audiences can be quite fickle.

I sang 'American Pie' a lot in my stage set. It had a knack of uniting an audience in a sing-along. It's a clever song about American history but wrapped in a fantastic tune.

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

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

Class still matters in Britain today.

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