There's something about being a comedian that means you have to not be scared of failing because failing is part of the process.
thinking names unfortunate
I know somebody from university who's called Phil Collins and I think there's something terribly unfortunate about sharing a name With somebody who either is famous or becomes famous.
two england dresses
No more watching that show Small England or whatever it's called where those two idiots dress up as 'laydees'. It's a bad influence.
attention-seeking want different
I'm terribly attention-seeking. It's very different once you get all this attention, though. Because then you want to control it. And you can't exactly.
flower tea important
It's important when you're married not to forget those things you used to do when you were trying to get her to marry you. You can't send flowers and buy gifts then, when you're married, say, 'Right, get my tea on'. That doesn't go down well. So you've got to keep that level of interest going.

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.
