The Film Industry Is Like Anne Robinsonalways

Well, I Don't Ever Get Excited. I Haven't Been Excited Since I Got A Chopper Bicycle When I Was About 12. Once You Get Older You Realise There's Always A Catch To Everything. So When I Get, Say, A Commission To Make A Tv Show, The Catch Is That You Have To Deliver Something And Then The Sense Of Responsibility Overwhelms The Joy Of The Occasion.

I Was On Various Anti-depressants, But Not For Long - I Didn't Function Very Well On Them. I Felt Sort Of Flattened Out.

People Who Are Pro Smacking Children Say, 'it's The Only Language They Understand.' You Could Apply That To Tourists.

I Have Had Issues With Depression All My Life, And It's Probably True To Say There Was A Tendency Towards It Even When I Was Very Young, During My Schooldays. There Was Often - And This Is Quite Common With Comics - A Sense Of Not Feeling As If I Belonged Anywhere.

If I've Inadvertently Become Some Sort Of Role Model For Failed Comedians, Then It's Really Backfired Very Badly On Me.
