When I'm on stage, I'm quite over the top - I'm quite flamboyant and camp.
-
I've definitely become smuttier. When I first started out, I had these aspirations: 'I'm not going to do jokes about anything crude because I'm bigger and better than that.' But then, I don't know... It makes me laugh, so I started doing it.
-
My dad doesn't hug me enough!
-
I'm very conscious of other people's opinions and of people not liking me.
-
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.
-
If I could look like anyone, it would be Jamie Redknapp - even up close, he's amazing.
-
My mother giving birth to me was just like Lady Sybil giving birth, except that there wasn't such a tragic ending.
-
For the first six months of my stand-up career, I was talking like Danny Dyer. I was doing a lot of 'alright guvnors?' It wasn't true to who I was.
-
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.
-
I have got a fantastic life and I just like to get on with it, and I am quite a private person.
-
Once you start doing a lot, you don't ever want to stop working. It feels weird if you're not doing something.
-
I think people respect honesty rather than hiding it.
-
I eat healthily, as it keeps my energy up.
-
I don't like comedians who don't have conviction, and with stand-up, it is always best to have an angle.
-
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.
-
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.
-
I like to think I'm a bit smarter than I sometimes let on.
-
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.
-
I hope people think of me as a bit older. I do have a beard. That makes me look very old.
-
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.
-
If I'm in an uncomfortable situation, I think I can say something funny to defuse it. Sometimes you can't.
-
There's a real sense of camaraderie with sitcoms.
-
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.
-
I vote for whoever will annoy my dad.
