I mean comedy is something that's very personal and people have strong opinions about.

People see my impressions as a great skill and I am flattered, but there are things I can't do that everyone else can. I can do funny voices and funny faces but I can't drive.

When I left school I was full of angst, like any teenager, and I channeled it all into comedy.

I told Bernie Taupin that his best lyrics were for Song For Guy just because it doesn't have any words in it. But there you go... I'm a wind up! But a good Elton song for karaoke is I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues... "laughing like children, living like lovers, rolling like thunder under the covers..." Everyone can join in!

It was very pleasurable and easy and it was nice to work with friends... people I already knew, people I didn't know but I now count as friends. There is a lot of hard work that goes into the movie but I can't claim to have been any part of that.

You have to get rid of characters to make room for new ones, but you also have to recognize when things are done.

I finally learned to love myself by dressing up as Geri Halliwell.
