along bad came camp comics feeling frankie gave gay john kenneth loved positive school single williams
I loved all the camp comics of my childhood, Kenneth Williams and Frankie Howerd and John Inman, but school gave me a very bad feeling about being gay and then, when I was about 12 - bang, along came AIDS. I can't think of a single positive thing about being gay at that time.
appeal beyond comedy hoping stretch
I was hoping that the appeal of the show would stretch beyond the anglophile and comedy-obsessed.

Their street signs keep getting nicked. And when we did the live tour, when we did get to Wales, it felt really good to be there.

We were friends for four years before we started writing together, so that is the foundation on which our partnership is built.

depression enemy want
Keep yourself busy if you want to avoid depression. For me, inactivity is the enemy.
skills voice people
People see my impressions as a great skill and I am flattered, but there are things I can't do that everyone else can. I can do funny voices and funny faces but I can't drive.
night complaining wake-up
If the worst that happens is that I wake up and see a picture of myself and a headline saying, 'He wasn't very funny last night', then I've got nothing to complain about.
night thinking talking
Honestly, I was just happy to get the work. I was chuffed to bits. I know David Furnish and Elton John a bit and I remember David talking very excitedly about it. This was going back four or five years even, when we were doing Little Britain at the Hammersmith Apollo. I'd lost my voice that night, but still did the show. I remember thinking: "God, they're going to think that's my voice and I'm not going to get in the film!" But it's just been a pleasure to be a part of.
fun bits showing-off
What fun is life without a bit of showing off?
nice hard-work people
It was very pleasurable and easy and it was nice to work with friends... people I already knew, people I didn't know but I now count as friends. There is a lot of hard work that goes into the movie but I can't claim to have been any part of that.
dressing-up love-myself dressings
I finally learned to love myself by dressing up as Geri Halliwell.
