I don't do much to keep in trim - I try to walk places instead of driving whenever I can, but I really ought to do more.
I don't do much lying in real life because I don't get away with it.
I did 'The Frank Skinner Show,' and they gave me a little jukebox-shaped CD player, which looks nice in the kitchen.
My first proper kiss was from Cara Shucksmith when I was 13 or 14 at her birthday party.
I don't care where you went to school. There - have I made your day? No? All right, I'll go further: I also don't care what your dad did for a living or how your mum voted. Nor do I mind whether you ate your tea in front of the telly, dinner at the kitchen table, or supper in the dining room.
I am a feminist. I don't especially care for the term, but there it is.
One thing about the fantasy dinner party idea that no one considers is whether these people are going to get on. I would say John McEnroe and Ian McEwan, but what would they have to say to each other?
I'm a huge, huge fan of Chris Morris. I think he's a genius, and it is not a word I use very often. I think he's fantastic.
I hate it when people use the word 'sorry' aggressively, as in, 'Sorry, but I hate you.' Sorry's an important word, and it shouldn't be abused.
I can't imagine getting bored with comedy or thinking comedy is beneath us suddenly.
My favorite series of 'Peep Show' is always the most recent one, which I can say with all honesty because I don't write it. It gets better and better.
Basically I try not to knock other comedians.
I'm knackered. I'm knackered all the time. My stupid, tiny children wake me up at 5:48 A.M. every single morning.
I was an usher at the Lyric Theatre Hammersmith. You had to watch whatever play they had on 40 times.
