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

I think in many ways Johnny English is a more believable character.

In the modern media age we are rarely surprised by what we see. Whether it's on television or film or in the theatre, everything is so advertised, so trailed, that most entertainment is merely what you thought it was going to be like.

But, actually, so many of the clerics that I've met, particularly the Church of England clerics, are people of such extraordinary smugness and arrogance and conceitedness who are extraordinarily presumptuous about the significance of their position in society.

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

I would never wish to say that I've finally waved goodbye to any character, it's just that the emphasis tends to shift.

I tend to play rather odd men. People that are slightly odd or eccentric, or have a more particular attitude to life.
