thinking people beard
I hope people think of me as a bit older. I do have a beard. That makes me look very old.
definitely jokes
I've definitely become smuttier. When I first started out, I had these aspirations: 'I'm not going to do jokes about anything crude because I'm bigger and better than that.' But then, I don't know... It makes me laugh, so I started doing it.
love
Live stand-up is my thing. I love being on stage and just messing around.
except lady tragic
My mother giving birth to me was just like Lady Sybil giving birth, except that there wasn't such a tragic ending.
amazing bit brilliant cruise people tom
I wish I was a bit shorter, as I think shorter people have better walks. Freddie Fox, the actor, is shorter than me and has an amazing gait; and Tom Cruise has a brilliant run. I'm just gangly.
audition casting director
I was the first person in the world to audition for 'The Hobbit'. The casting director told me that when I went in. That's a lot of pressure, isn't it? The first person in the world.
I eat healthily, as it keeps my energy up.
life quite
I have got a fantastic life and I just like to get on with it, and I am quite a private person.
constantly
I'd like to scale back the television. I'm constantly told that I'm over-exposed, and I don't want to end up like Carol Vorderman.
comics jokes met order prefer routines sit
Some comics have long routines to get them in the mood - I just prefer to sit down, write out the same jokes in a different order and then have a little prayer that I won't be met by silence.
funny
If I'm in an uncomfortable situation, I think I can say something funny to defuse it. Sometimes you can't.
buck insecure looked wore
When I was younger, I was insecure for about 10 years: I wore glasses, had a cow's lick, buck teeth and braces. I looked ridiculous.
flamboyant quite top
When I'm on stage, I'm quite over the top - I'm quite flamboyant and camp.
There's a real sense of camaraderie with sitcoms.
