There is nothing far-fetched about disappointment as a subject for comedy. It's something we are all too familiar with.

Every actor is riddled with insecurity, of course. But weirdly, I don't really find that I'd be daunted with taking on roles or anything.

I've been doing interviews for years, and in all that time, I've virtually never read one and gone, 'Yep, factually and tonally that's exactly what happened.' Pretty much never.

Why does everyone have to pretend to be stupid and not know long words?

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.

I only really watch my own films, I don't watch any other films and I don't particularly like any other actors.

My idea of a good night out is staying in.
