I think poshness is very funny! But I think it's also delightful. There's something wonderful and very innocent about it, particularly with the Edwardians.
Quote by -Ben Miller
It's great to do stuff that 'gets you out of the house' in a way - that gets you to meet other people!
Quote by -Ben Miller
You need to take a little break sometimes. Then, hopefully, you get some more lead in your pencil, and you're raring to go again!
Quote by -Ben Miller
I took my son to an exhibition about inventing things, and he was so inspired he started collecting toilet rolls and empty bottles for his own 'inventions.'
Quote by -Ben Miller
I used to go badger-watching as a boy, and it's brilliant fun - they're incredibly active animals, and the cubs are very funny to watch.
Quote by -Ben Miller
Our annual school physics trip was always to Blackpool Pleasure Beach, as it's such a good example of Newtonian physics. You can learn about centrifugal force and Newton's first law from the roller coasters, and the Viking long boat is a giant pendulum. It's good for children to understand that science underpins all these brilliant things.
Quote by -Ben Miller
I once played a character called Mr. Jonathan in something called 'Razzle Dazzle.' I was a choreographer of children's pageants. That was something I never imagined doing. It did great in Australia.
Quote by -Ben Miller
Acting and writing are the things I like doing. I don't like presenting that much.
Quote by -Ben Miller
I like to think of myself as focused in work, but it probably comes across as obsessive.
Quote by -Ben Miller
I don't think you get a lot of comedians who are homeopaths. Comedy is essentially about not being hoodwinked.
Quote by -Ben Miller
As with anything that involves emotional pain, comedy isn't too far behind. There's that element of no matter how painful something is - as long as it is not you that is going through it - it can be funny.
Quote by -Ben Miller
As a committed Whovian, I cannot believe my luck in joining the Twelfth Doctor for one of his inaugural adventures. My only worry is that they'll make me leave the set when I'm not filming.
Quote by -Ben Miller
I'm not afraid to say it - I'm proud to be from a nation that wears its heart on its sleeve and isn't scared to show its feelings.
Quote by -Ben Miller
Galactic plankton is undoubtedly out there, but it's statistically highly likely there's also another intelligent civilisation out there somewhere. Unfortunately, the distances and time differences are so great, communication might remain impossible.
Quote by -Ben Miller
Science was always a passion, but I also loved 'Monty Python' and 'The Young Ones,' and I discovered the Footlights comedy club at university, where a lot of those people got their start. I had a go and loved it immediately. After that, I just couldn't stop writing sketches, and it all took off from there.
Quote by -Ben Miller
Being away from my family for six months a year - even if it was in the beautiful surroundings of Guadeloupe in the Caribbean - was just too hard.
Quote by -Ben Miller
The one thing that makes me laugh about the phrase 'the worst week of my life' is that nobody actually uses that phrase when something really bad happens.
Quote by -Ben Miller
I'd probably be one of these terribly over-protective parents whose children become a neurotic wreck because they've never been exposed to real life.
Quote by -Ben Miller
You can reveal yourself on stage in a way that you can't on TV. If you drop a character on TV, it's death. Each character has to be ruthlessly, faultlessly played. But live, you can hint at what's going on behind. You can let the audience in a bit and go off the script.
Quote by -Ben Miller
I'm prepared to try to talk to a very beautiful girl. I learned a fantastic secret, which is that the most beautiful woman in the room is not being spoken to because she's too intimidating. They're not looking for somebody beautiful; they're looking for somebody to amuse them.
Quote by -Ben Miller
It's the classic thing - children's TV gets watched by everybody, not just children. 'Horrible Histories' is the sort of thing everyone watches.
Quote by -Ben Miller
Ricky Gervais has jokes about people with disabilities, but do I think that's a healthy thing? Yes, I really do, because he's chosen his targets very carefully, and he's thought about what he's doing.
Quote by -Ben Miller
'Death In Paradise' is my dream job - a fascinating character, great scripts, superb cast, and shooting in the Caribbean with French catering.
Quote by -Ben Miller
For me, one of the things art has to examine is how to live your life, and unless it's doing that, it doesn't work for me.
Quote by -Ben Miller
My success at living a moral life is pretty terrible, but I still aspire to do it! I identify with the Johnny Cash thing that trying to live a good life and be a good person are not necessarily the same thing!
Quote by -Ben Miller
I get frustrated with films that entertain me but ultimately dodge a moral question about how you should try and live.
Quote by -Ben Miller
Back in the day, when a man in a wig had to 'lip sync for their life,' they relied on a wig reveal, rose petals or picking up their opponent and twirling them around.
Quote by -Bianca Del Rio
Maybe I'm just nostalgic for the old days when drag was fun, not personal.
Quote by -Bianca Del Rio
Sometimes if you're dealing with straight interviewers they're a little more excited if you're in drag: 'Oooh! Aaaah! Eeeee!' But if you're just sitting there out of drag, they think you're just a bitter queen.
Quote by -Bianca Del Rio
Most humor comes from truth. In the end, if I can laugh about it, who cares?
Quote by -Bianca Del Rio
In the gay world, and in drag in particular, they love to put you on a pedestal and then two minutes later rip you down.
Quote by -Bianca Del Rio
There's always something that I will always find to do, because I just enjoy working so much. There's always something on the horizon; it really comes down to scheduling and making it all happen.
Quote by -Bianca Del Rio
Well, I'm old enough to remember Carol Burnett, and I would love a variety show type of thing.
Quote by -Bianca Del Rio
In 1996 I was working on a play in New Orleans, and they needed a drag queen. I offered to play the role. That led to guest appearances at bars, which led to regular appearances at bars, which led to hosting. I eventually started working six days a week in bars before moving to N.Y.C.
