I was brought up to be a good boy and proud of myself so I suppress all the things about me that are bad.

I live on the limit, Vyvyan. The limit, because I'm a rider at the gates of dawn and I take no prisoners!

Other people get moody in their forties and fifties - men get the male menopause. I missed the whole thing. I was just really happy.

I was in a coma for five days - I was dead longer than Jesus before he was raised from the dead.

I don't have moments of weakness. I'm Rik Mayall.

I had a very happy childhood, happy teenage years and I was famous by the time I was 22. A charmed life.
