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

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.

I still have lots of friends from my pre-success days.

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.

I'm prone to a more depressed outlook on life.

I just look like someone with a long face. Not just A. P. McCoy himself, but some of the horses he rides.

When you're doing stand-up, you can comment if something fails, get a laugh from that.
