I could never be on stage on my own. But puppets can say things that humans can't say.

I do laugh when I hear myself saying, 'I am a ventriloquist.' I am definitely suited to it, though. I took it and ran with it quite hungrily. It is not for everyone, but it is just the chance to write for a character.

I've started running three or four times a week, which prompts millions of sketch ideas.

With acting, I always felt like I didn't have control of it. It was all about other people giving me a job.

I thought people would think I only wanted to be an actor because my dad was, rather than because I had an innate calling.

My dad is a much more flamboyant character than I am. I think that's why I couldn't see myself going into straight acting. I always just felt daft.
