Up North you are holding your own. Everyone considers themselves a comedian.

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

I use very few muscles at the best of times.

I've got my finger in a lot of pies.

Being 'Johnny' was almost like an out of body experience. I thought he was just a character that I'd created and could quite easily step away from, but it was much more difficult than that.

If an original piece of wardrobe came up from Star Wars, I'd probably spend a lot of money on it.

My work's never been accepted by my family, but it's something I'll always carry on with.
