“But it's true, I was a sports organiser at Pontins - one of a series of terrible jobs I had before I started doing comedy full time.”

“I have a British and an American passport.”

“In the last 15 or 20 years, I've watched the British press simply go to hell. There seems to be no limit, no depths to which the tabloids won't sink. I don't know who these people are but they're little pigs.”

“Why are British actors revered in America? Because it's a place of excellence. This is where we are trained to be excellent. There's a richness here.”
