More quotes by 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'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
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
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.
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 haven't put much effort into my personal life and blithely believe it will turn out all right in the end.
David Walliams
It's easier not to make a particular joke in case it offends. But every joke will offend someone, and I've always believed that the audience is bigger than one person. The danger is that things will become bland.
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
I haven't traditionally been a family entertainer.
David Walliams
Definitely I love women, I love being around women, I find them incredible and intoxicating, and I've never had that feeling I get with women with a man.
David Walliams
It was very exciting to see Alan Sugar, so I think I've peaked with excitement for the evening, because I'm a massive Apprentice fan.
David Walliams
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
I don't think comedy is necessarily an attack. It's finding humour in life. I don't think if you're making a joke about something you're automatically demeaning it.
David Walliams
We've got 12-year-old boys dressing up as transvestites.
David Walliams
I was the kind of person who got bullied and loved the attention of it.
David Walliams
Ricky Gervais would have you believe otherwise, but Sacha Baron Cohen is the most successful British comedian in the world.
David Walliams
All you can do in this life is follow your dreams. Otherwise you're just wasting your time.
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
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
I have always liked shows that have laughter in them.
