“My favourite restaurant of all time is Mildreds on London's Lexington ...” — David Walliams Quote

My favourite restaurant of all time is Mildreds on London's Lexington Street. It's a little vegetarian restaurant and is really fun and healthy, too. It was the first place I went to in London and really liked. That was 20 years ago, and it is still my favourite.

I know somebody from university who's called Phil Collins, and I think there's something terribly unfortunate about sharing a name with somebody who either is famous or becomes famous.

I thrive off the company of others, I love being sociable.

When you are doing endurance swimming you just need to take in as many carbs as possible to put on as much weight as you can. Basically you can eat whatever you want, which can be quite fun. Everything is guilt-free.

Each city should have its own type of restaurant.

I was working at Talesai, which is a Thai restaurant on Sunset. I actually worked there through selling my first script.

I learned more from the one restaurant that didn't work than from all the ones that were successes.

The truth is, as much as I loved writing restaurant reviews, it always felt very self-indulgent to me. It was so much fun, I loved doing it, but there's so much else to say about food.

For Russian food, I like the Zhiguli restaurant.
