I was depressed as a child. I found it hard to make friends. My favourite thing was locking myself in the bathroom and practising comedy routines.

More quotes by David Walliams
I was the kind of person who got bullied and loved the attention of it.
David Walliams
Children's books are often seen as the poor relation of literature. But children are just as demanding as adult readers, if not more so. I should know. I'm a children's writer myself.
David Walliams
Sometimes you meet people who can't swim. And I always think: 'Oh my God, that's extraordinary.' For me, it's always been a treat I just feel really happy in the water.
David Walliams
No more watching that show Small England or whatever it's called where those two idiots dress up as 'laydees'. It's a bad influence.
David Walliams
TV has lost a lot of its self-confidence as its power has been eroded by the internet.

When I was a child I devoured every book I could get my hands on. I loved losing myself in colourful and dramatic stories - and my absolute favourite was 'Charlie And The Chocolate Factory.' Everything about it electrified me, and when I re-read Roald Dahl's books as an adult it surprised me.
David Walliams
People think writing a children's book is something you could do in an afternoon but it's actually really hard.
David Walliams
There's something about being a comedian that means you have to not be scared of failing because failing is part of the process.
David Walliams
I can't see why anyone would want to be in politics because you get so much criticism.

We've got 12-year-old boys dressing up as transvestites.
David Walliams
I don't get recognized much, and am very happy with that. The fans I have met have all been delightful.
David Walliams
I haven't put much effort into my personal life and blithely believe it will turn out all right in the end.
David Walliams
All you can do in this life is follow your dreams. Otherwise you're just wasting your time.
David Walliams
It's important when you're married not to forget those things you used to do when you were trying to get her to marry you. You can't send flowers and buy gifts then, when you're married, say, 'Right, get my tea on'. That doesn't go down well. So you've got to keep that level of interest going.
David Walliams
We sit in a room for months trying to think of funny things.
David Walliams
I used to have a silk dressing gown an uncle bought in Japan and when I came downstairs in it, my dad used to call me Davinia. There was never embarrassment about that kind of thing. My sister used to dress me up a lot. She thought I was a little doll.

Ricky Gervais would have you believe otherwise, but Sacha Baron Cohen is the most successful British comedian in the world.
David Walliams
I'm not a political thinker, but I've just always thought of myself as a Labour supporter. I was a great fan of Tony Blair. He sent me a letter before I swam the Channel to wish me luck.
David Walliams
I'm terribly attention-seeking. It's very different once you get all this attention, though. Because then you want to control it. And you can't exactly.
David Walliams
I don't have a fear factor. Well, not much of one. And I'm willing to risk quite a lot - as a comedian, you're always risking a lot. You're risking failure, especially if you're improvising and going on TV shows trying to make comedy out of thin air. That is quite a risky business.
