Math was a two-part exam and I once didn't go for the second part. I knew I'd done so badly on the first it was hopeless. I re-took it about four or five times. I think I eventually got it by getting the top GCSE grade.

If you're a comedian, you are looking for material in daily life.

There are some people who only know me for cornflakes ads, and that's fine. I have a charmed life.

Sometimes great stuff comes quickly and sometimes it doesn't and you've got to dig in for the long haul, don't loose heart, and wait for something to come along. Which is something you learn the more you do it, that if it isn't coming straight away just hang in there and something will come.

I think it's almost an indulgence to focus on the dark side of things. And as you get older, you want to focus on the positive.
