On my tombstone it will say, 'At last, a day off.'
Unfortunately, my football career wasn't very long. The reason I finished playing was because I fractured both ankles in a matter of months.
I was a sheet metal worker, then a metal engineer, then a Pontin's bluecoat, then a comedian. You can achieve anything you want if you put your mind to it.
People don't realise I have seriously bad blepharitis.
I remember watching the Twin Towers collapse. Because it was another country and looked like a film, I just sort of thought, 'Oh.' I didn't think that much. Then three days later, it hit me. I was in a terrible state, and I was tearful for three or four days.
I used to watch 'Doctor Who' as a child with William Hartnell and Pat Troughton in the black-and-white days, so being cast is brilliant.
Families have a sense of kinship that no four strangers would ever have as a team.
If I'm doing a job, I'll give it 100%, and that job gets my absolute focus, and everything else goes to the side. Then, that job is finished, I'll concentrate on the next job.
I don't think I can plate-spin, I've turned loads of things down because I just can't get the time to do it.
Everyone's got to have a bit of faith.
I thought, as a kid, that I was The Doctor's biggest fan, so my mum and dad bought me a battery-operated Dalek. I must have worn it out, I played with it so much.
A lot of comics make good actors. Actors make bad comics. They can't do it the other way round.
I like Hawaiian pizza.
Me and Stormzy. We're gonna do an album. We're gonna do an album of Nelson Riddle arrangements in grime form. It's gonna be called 'Griddle'.
We've made it to the 1000th episode of 'The Chase,' as the show is so entertaining and informative. I'm so lucky I get to be a part of such a great team and have a laugh at work; I even learn some things, too.
I don't want to do the same thing all the time, and I was thrilled to bits to do a BBC comedy. It's the home of British comedy.
I love pirates, and I'm a big fan of the Johnny Depp films.
I'm a man who doesn't even have a mobile!
'Law & Order' is a six-month shoot. Everything has to be crammed in. I had so much fun, but it wasn't a holiday. We had seriously long days, and we'd finish at 8 P.M. and start again at 7 A.M. We were doing six-day weeks, which sometimes tripped onto the seventh. But I loved it all.
The first real gig I went to was Randy Crawford in 1980. Seeing a big star like that was just fantastic.
