gentleman retired traits
I don't know what I'll be like when I'm 60. I already have the traits of a retired gentleman.
real fiction incredibles
Reality always outstrips fiction. Whatever you make up, something more incredible always pops up in real life.
football heart men
I don't have a lot to share with other men. My heart sinks when I get into a taxi and someone starts talking to me about football.
book character writing
I love telling stories. I love the intimacy between the writer and reader. When you write sketches it's over in two minutes. When you write a book the characters have to have a bit of emotional depth.
airports human-life found
All human life can be found in an airport.
criticism want i-can
I can't see why anyone would want to be in politics because you get so much criticism.
bully about-yourself feels
A bully can only make you feel bad about yourself if you let them.
sadness way strange
It's strange how sometimes you can be so happy it goes all the way round to sadness.
air tv-shows risk
I don't have a fear factor. Well, not much of one. And I'm willing to risk quite a lot - as a comedian, you're always risking a lot. You're risking failure, especially if you're improvising and going on TV shows trying to make comedy out of thin air. That is quite a risky business.
fun years healthy
My favourite restaurant of all time is Mildreds on London's Lexington Street. It's a little vegetarian restaurant and is really fun and healthy, too. It was the first place I went to in London and really liked. That was 20 years ago, and it is still my favourite.
numbers magic bars
There's a sort of magic and music to comedy. Some words, some numbers even, are funnier than others. A Caramac bar, for instance, is funnier than a Milky Way.
thinking funny-things trying
We sit in a room for months trying to think of funny things.
uncles dad japan
I used to have a silk dressing gown an uncle bought in Japan and when I came downstairs in it, my dad used to call me Davinia. There was never embarrassment about that kind of thing. My sister used to dress me up a lot. She thought I was a little doll.
dark thinking self
I have a pathological fear of being on my own. When I'm with my own thoughts, I start to unravel myself, and I start to think really dark thoughts, self-destructive thoughts.
