I had a moment where I realised I could do silly voices, that lots of people I knew couldn't do silly voices, and that thus I must be able to make money doing silly voices.

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

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

The thing is, when I had my first success it did coincide with the end of my first marriage, and because I went on to have a very, very unhappy two years, I don't think I equate career success with personal happiness.

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.

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

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