I'm quite an optimist, quite happy in life, quite smiley.

I never come away from a film thinking I nailed it.

I remember once giving my dad some drawings and writings and said, 'If you could just give these to the publisher, that would be great.' And I was about five!

I love acting but I also love writing, especially comedy.

My feet are like something from another age - prehistoric and troll-like. I keep expecting them to talk, they have that much character.

I loved working with kids, and kids are the most incredibly discerning audience. And if they don't believe you, they will tell you and let you know. I mean, kids is where it's at, really.

You only do good work when you're taking risks and pushing yourself.
