I feel that a lot of British comedy is often too bombastic, too obvious, dressing up and shouting and pulling funny faces.

I've never done anything for the common consensus. I do things to please me. If you are happy with something yourself, you become bulletproof.

Someone trying to be funny probably isn't as funny as someone who doesn't want to be funny but is and can't help it. Someone being serious or angry might be funny. If you get angry, the first thing I want to do is laugh because I don't know why you're getting that angry. Pathos makes me laugh, funerals make me laugh.

Fact is stranger than fiction. You see people walking down the street that would never be allowed on television. You have to tone it down.

Someone asked me what three things I would save if my house was on fire. I said my cat, my salamander and one of the twins.

Same-sex marriage is not a gay privilege, it's equal rights.

My favourite shows of the year are House of Cards, the Scandinavian versions of The Killing and The Bridge, and my guilty pleasure is everything MMA. Ultimate Fighter is amazing.

Celebrities, make it harder for hackers to get nude pics of you from your computer by not putting nude pics of yourself on the computer.

It's the team that matters. Where would The Beatles be without Ringo. If John got Yoko to play drums the history of music would be completely different.

No one wants to see cool people doing brilliantly. I want to see the struggle. That's the fun bit.
