I like to think I'm a bit smarter than I sometimes let on.

If I'm in an uncomfortable situation, I think I can say something funny to defuse it. Sometimes you can't.

I think people respect honesty rather than hiding it.

I wish I was a bit shorter, as I think shorter people have better walks. Freddie Fox, the actor, is shorter than me and has an amazing gait; and Tom Cruise has a brilliant run. I'm just gangly.

I hope people think of me as a bit older. I do have a beard. That makes me look very old.

Part of doing stand-up is to get things off your chest. It's a bit like being in a psychiatrist's chair - but more enjoyable.
