I've always been attracted to darkness.

I'm a big believer that life changes as much as you want it to.

I've never been to a festival. I'm a creature of habit, mashed-potato comfort, I like rugs. Our sofa's squishy. Maybe too squishy - it's hard to get up sometimes.

Disappointment is an endless wellspring of comedy inspiration.

I don't want to sound like a grumpy old man, but nothing winds me up more than people saying, 'Chill out' to me when I'm irritated!

It's hard talking about acting, in a way, because it's like explaining a joke: I do think it loses something in the telling.

I've always loved Christmas and that's not really gone away from me from being a child to now. It's always a magical time and I'm unashamed in my love for Christmas.

You absorb 2,000 years of history just by being near the Thames.

I'm one of the few people I know who believes in God.
