We had a week off in the middle of shooting, but as soon as everyone stopped, we all went down with six different types of flu and other unmentionable diseases.

When I wasn't as attractive as I am now, I suffered at the hands of cruel children and their taunts until I realised that confidence and a bit of aesthetic care can overcome that.

I also want to return to doing stand-up. I've become frightened of live audiences. This is a really telling sign that I need to go back on the comedy circuit again.

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

You can't be a proper comic unless you've been out on stage and felt the fear.

I've got too much respect for stand-ups to call myself one.

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