You're about as useful as a one-legged man at an arse kicking contest.

In TV, and in particular in commercials, you don't really need to explain very much at all - you just say he's a spy and he's a little bit theatrical and overblown and smug and he's not very good at his job.

But I always feel that whatever I do, I could do better. I suppose it is perfectionism.

It certainly helps, I think, with some actors to understand the process of acting. You see what extraordinary pressure they're under, there's a huge circus dedicated to a particular moment and they're got to deliver and it can help that you, even if empathetically alone, understand what they're doing.

Your services might be as useful as a barbershop on the steps of a guillotine.

I consider myself more of a visual comedian than a physical one.

Look, if I'd wanted a lecture on the rights of man, I'd have gone to bed with Martin Luther.
