There's a difference between the parts that I play and who I am and who people think I am. There's quite a big discrepancy sometimes between those things.

The one thing I've found is that someone always knows more than you do, including your babies. There are loads of things people presume I know about that I don't.

I've got a stag weekend coming up and I've said I'm not doing anything more than a few drinks. I won't have it. I'll go home and watch Antiques Roadshow.

Comedy can't be about continuous success.

I'm not posh or common, I'm in between.

Not all Peter Greenaway's stuff is sequential, narrative story. Some of it is like an art installation and I'm not particularly interested in being in an art installation to be honest. I'm interested in the story.

I like things that are simple, such as an alarm clock.
