More quotes by David Walliams
The most used piece of kit in my kitchen is my saucepan. I use it every morning to cook my porridge in. The least used piece of equipment? I'd say a food mixer. I've never used it, I don't really know what they're for.
David Walliams
There's a sort of magic and music to comedy. Some words, some numbers even, are funnier than others. A Caramac bar, for instance, is funnier than a Milky Way.
David Walliams
I think most people that do comedy write for themselves. I don't think there is any other way you can do it, really. Otherwise it would be quite cynical.
David Walliams
I haven't traditionally been a family entertainer.
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
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
Social satire has been around since people have been around.
David Walliams
I thrive off the company of others, I love being sociable.

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've done panel shows, which I enjoy, and on those you're recording half-an-hour of TV and sometimes they film for two hours. But with 'Britain's Got Talent,' you're on camera for eight hours, with a large theatre audience watching - and in between you're being filmed for ITV2 as you eat your lunch.
David Walliams
I am a huge fan of 'Doctor Who.'
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'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 love telling stories. I love the intimacy between the writer and reader. When you write sketches it's over in two minutes. When you write a book the characters have to have a bit of emotional depth.
David Walliams
We've got 12-year-old boys dressing up as transvestites.
David Walliams
Ricky Gervais would have you believe otherwise, but Sacha Baron Cohen is the most successful British comedian in the world.
David Walliams
Writing for radio really focuses the mind, because you can't rely on thinking Oh, just pull a funny face at the end of this sketch. You've got to try to work on the words.
David Walliams
I don't know what I'll be like when I'm 60. I already have the traits of a retired gentleman.
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
We sit in a room for months trying to think of funny things.
