I think it's always funny when you see kids do Shakespeare. When I was at school, I was in Hamlet. I played Claudius, who's supposed to be a 60-year-old man, and I was like 18. It's inherently ridiculous seeing 18-year-old boys with gray beards. That's always funny.

When I was a student I was very, very ambitious, completely immersed in my comedy career. I never had that period of reckless hedonism that you should get out of your system in your youth.

I don't like big feet. It reminds me of gammon.

Comedy is unique in the sense that laughter is a palpable noise that everyone makes.

Even great people are always slightly disappointing, which is generally what makes them interesting.

The trick is always to write in pairs because if at least two people find it funny, you've immediately halved the odds of it not being funny.
