I'm basically a sexless geek. Look at me, I have pasty-white skin, I have acne scars and I'm five-foot-nothing. Does that sound like a real sexual dynamo to you?

My father was a very funny man, and one of my strongest recollections is hearing him laugh. He didn't like people who had no sense of humour.

I once thought I had mono for an entire year. It turned out I was just really bored.

Comedy. It was just huge in my house. Peter Sellers and Alec Guinness, Monty Python and all those James Bond movies were highly regarded.

With fame there is a crosswire between intensity and intimacy. You have decoy intimacy, but you are also very much alone.

My father was always a straight-up funny guy. He was silly. He was my inspiration.

I like my privacy. I love being a part of [films], but when I'm not doing stuff, I like to go away. I enjoy being a person, a great deal.
