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.

I haven't traditionally been a family entertainer.
David Walliams
I can't see why anyone would want to be in politics because you get so much criticism.
David Walliams
It's strange how sometimes you can be so happy it goes all the way round to sadness.
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
People think writing a children's book is something you could do in an afternoon but it's actually really hard.
David Walliams
A bully can only make you feel bad about yourself if you let them.

I know somebody from university who's called Phil Collins, and I think there's something terribly unfortunate about sharing a name with somebody who either is famous or becomes famous.
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
TV has lost a lot of its self-confidence as its power has been eroded by the internet.
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.

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.

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 don't know what I'll be like when I'm 60. I already have the traits of a retired gentleman.
David Walliams
We sit in a room for months trying to think of funny things.
David Walliams
Social satire has been around since people have been around.
David Walliams
I was the kind of person who got bullied and loved the attention of it.

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'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 have always liked shows that have laughter in them.
