More quotes by 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
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'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
People think writing a children's book is something you could do in an afternoon but it's actually really hard.
David Walliams
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.

We've got 12-year-old boys dressing up as transvestites.
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 haven't traditionally been a family entertainer.
David Walliams
It's strange how sometimes you can be so happy it goes all the way round to sadness.
David Walliams
I was the kind of person who got bullied and loved the attention of it.
David Walliams
We sit in a room for months trying to think of funny things.
David Walliams
TV has lost a lot of its self-confidence as its power has been eroded by the internet.
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 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.
David Walliams
I thrive off the company of others, I love being sociable.
David Walliams
I have always liked shows that have laughter in them.
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
It can be difficult to be subtle and not cartoony in prosthetics. But when you see characters like Bubbles and Desiree from 'Little Britain' on screen, it makes all the hard work worth it. It's such fun watching those transformations.
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.
