Once you start doing a lot, you don't ever want to stop working. It feels weird if you're not doing something.
I'm not actually posh; I'm really rough and from the wrong side of the tracks. I grew up in Putney, which is pretty rough.
I want to write a film. I need to think of the right idea and focus on that; I love writing.
If I could look like anyone, it would be Jamie Redknapp - even up close, he's amazing.
Part of doing stand-up is to get things off your chest. It's a bit like being in a psychiatrist's chair - but more enjoyable.
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.
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 love stand-up, but the process of writing is a little more lonely. I want to keep doing both, though.
There's a real sense of camaraderie with sitcoms.
I have got a fantastic life and I just like to get on with it, and I am quite a private person.
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.
