| Quotes: |
I don't like comedians who don't have conviction, and with stand-up, it is always best to have an angle.
<br />
<hr>
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.
<br />
<hr>
I hope people think of me as a bit older. I do have a beard. That makes me look very old.
<br />
<hr>
I think people respect honesty rather than hiding it.
<br />
<hr>
If I'm in an uncomfortable situation, I think I can say something funny to defuse it. Sometimes you can't. |
