characters lots series
We're going to make another series with lots of new characters and old characters together.
self-confidence tvs internet
TV has lost a lot of its self-confidence as its power has been eroded by the internet.
doctors fans huge
I am a huge fan of 'Doctor Who.'
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.
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.
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.
love-is men feelings
Definitely I love women, I love being around women, I find them incredible and intoxicating, and I've never had that feeling I get with women with a man.
thinking people able
I think all those rules are boring. About what people can and can't wear. Surely everyone should be able to wear whatever they like?
fall sleep anxiety
It was impossible to sleep. Anxiety stopped me from falling asleep; depression woke me up.
school support-you people
I've noticed that once you leave London you do kind of become a bit more famous. People in London are a bit too cool for school. It's not so unusual to see someone from London in the street. But outside of London people are a bit more excited to see you and come out and support you.
self elements way
I still enjoy my life, and I feel like I've achieved enough things that if I never did anything again, I'd feel confident that I'd still have made my mark in some way. But maybe the self-loathing bit is the element that makes you strive for more. Makes you strive to be better.
thinking water people
Sometimes you meet people who can't swim. And I always think: 'Oh my God, that's extraordinary.' For me, it's always been a treat I just feel really happy in the water.
