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.
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.
life quite
I have got a fantastic life and I just like to get on with it, and I am quite a private person.
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.
acted bad nativity plays school shakespeare wrote
I acted at school but got very bad parts - things that they'd made up in Shakespeare plays like 'Guard 17' - so I wrote plays and gave myself parts, then I wrote sketches, then I did stand-up. Even in the school nativity I was the emu in the manger.
flamboyant quite top
When I'm on stage, I'm quite over the top - I'm quite flamboyant and camp.
