If I ever play Hamlet, it'll be in a dress!

You have to get rid of characters to make room for new ones, but you also have to recognize when things are done.

You wouldn't know how to perform a sketch that you don't find funny. You just couldn't do it.

I don't expect to be thin, but I'd like to feel a bit healthier.

My favourite song of Elton's is... it's a tricky one for me. I'm a proper fan and I've probably seen him in concert about a dozen times before I even met him. Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters, which isn't in this film... but whenever I see him, I always tell him that Passengers is my favourite song because it's one of his least auspicious ones.

People see my impressions as a great skill and I am flattered, but there are things I can't do that everyone else can. I can do funny voices and funny faces but I can't drive.
