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

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

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.

There's lots of stuff about me being a fan of Cliff but not being gay. Which suggests that he is, but he's not. Anyway, this is Channel 4, let their lawyers sort it out.

I used to be good with kids, but as I get older, I'm grumpy and terrible with them. As for doing a gig at a 6-year old's birthday party, you couldn't pay me enough.

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

It can be tough as a jobbing actor.
