I trained to be a priest - started to. I went to seminary school when I was 11. I wanted to be a priest, but when they told me I could never have sex, not even on my birthday, I changed my mind.

There's a domino effect with certain things you say.

I get obsessed with decorations and decorating the house. I keep it tasteful outside, but when you get inside it is a bit like Blackpool illuminations, I go bonkers!

Baldness is visually enough of a stigma as it is without a big sweaty bloke on stage pointing it out.

With stand-up you've just got that one chance. Audiences can be quite fickle.

You know, there's that temptation in interviews to make yourself sound - well, to give yourself a bit of mystery.

I do need to explore my faith, because it has got lost over the years and it has been kind of tainted through experience. But I also know it's enriched my life, my dad being a Catholic.

It is easy for me to love myself, but for ladies to do it is another question altogether.

I've got little ankles and a bit of a belly, so it makes me look rather an egg on legs.
