I also quite like to be recognized by children; I find it sweet.

As a producer, you've got to be involved in helping out with solving problems.

I used to binge-eat and make myself throw up. I was a fat kid. Obviously I didn't quite master the bulimia.

It would have been convenient to be gay. Just because of the grooming, the narcissism, stuff like that. But I have this kind of roaring heterosexuality. Traditional, uncomplicated heterosexuality, an almost cliched Robin Askwith thing.

My life is just a series of embarrassing incidents strung together by telling people about those embarrassing incidents.

Executive producers don't have to do anything. Nor do any kind of producers. They just sit around on deck chairs watching stuff, and if it gets cold, they leave. Actually I suppose as a producer you've got to be involved in helping out with solving problems.
