amazing bit brilliant cruise people tom
I wish I was a bit shorter, as I think shorter people have better walks. Freddie Fox, the actor, is shorter than me and has an amazing gait; and Tom Cruise has a brilliant run. I'm just gangly.
people
I'm very conscious of other people's opinions and of people not liking me.
honesty thinking people
I think people respect honesty rather than hiding it.
thinking people beard
I hope people think of me as a bit older. I do have a beard. That makes me look very old.
acts buffet carving club comedy gig people served side turkey
I did a gig at a comedy club in Bournemouth where they served a buffet while the acts were on. There was the clang of people carving turkey during the set. If you put comedy and turkey side by side, turkey always wins.
along behave people public ruins school society
Society is so divided in its perception of public school people. Most people who went to public school behave in the right way, but every now and then there will be someone who comes along and ruins it.
except lady tragic
My mother giving birth to me was just like Lady Sybil giving birth, except that there wasn't such a tragic ending.
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.
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.
funny
If I'm in an uncomfortable situation, I think I can say something funny to defuse it. Sometimes you can't.
life quite
I have got a fantastic life and I just like to get on with it, and I am quite a private person.
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.
buck insecure looked wore
When I was younger, I was insecure for about 10 years: I wore glasses, had a cow's lick, buck teeth and braces. I looked ridiculous.
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.
