believe successful comedian
Ricky Gervais would have you believe otherwise, but Sacha Baron Cohen is the most successful British comedian in the world.
characters lots series
We're going to make another series with lots of new characters and old characters together.
danger bigger cases
It's easier not to make a particular joke in case it offends. But every joke will offend someone, and I've always believed that the audience is bigger than one person. The danger is that things will become bland.
people satire social
Social satire has been around since people have been around.
light chocolate want
When I want comfort food, I buy Maltesers. I like all chocolates, but especially those. You can eat them, and because they're so light, you can convince yourself that they are not actually that fattening.
self-confidence tvs internet
TV has lost a lot of its self-confidence as its power has been eroded by the internet.
men clothes keys
We sort of expect to see men in women's clothes. It's part of our culture. The key thing is, it has to be done quite badly.
thinking comedy humour
I don't think comedy is necessarily an attack. It's finding humour in life. I don't think if you're making a joke about something you're automatically demeaning it.
doctors fans huge
I am a huge fan of 'Doctor Who.'
entertainers havens
I haven't traditionally been a family entertainer.
tired thames length
I've just swum the length of the Thames. I feel quite tired.
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.
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.
laughter shows
I have always liked shows that have laughter in them.
