It can be tough as a jobbing actor.

There's a domino effect with certain things you say.

I'm getting positive feedback for my acting so we'll see if any other interesting parts come up.

It is easy for me to love myself, but for ladies to do it is another question altogether.

We had a week off in the middle of shooting, but as soon as everyone stopped, we all went down with six different types of flu and other unmentionable diseases.

With stand-up you've just got that one chance. Audiences can be quite fickle.

My forte is playing drunks down the ages. When my agent rings me about a role, I don't ask what the part is, but what century it's in.

I used to be good with kids, but as I get older, I'm grumpy and terrible with them. As for doing a gig at a 6-year old's birthday party, you couldn't pay me enough.

When I wasn't as attractive as I am now, I suffered at the hands of cruel children and their taunts until I realised that confidence and a bit of aesthetic care can overcome that.

I love the way my weight fluctuates in the newspapers. It was 18 stone and then people look at a bad picture of me and add a few more stone on. I think the highest was 22 stone.

They look outside the windows of their apartment in town and realize they're not living in a terrace anymore. This is a room full of dreamers who like to go to London for a day.

A grateful mindset can set you free from the prison of disempowerment and the shackles of misery.

If you want to be a writer, write a little bit every day. Pay attention to the world around you. Stories are hiding, waiting everywhere. You just have to open your eyes and your heart.

Voice is not just the sound that comes from your throat, but the feelings that come from your words.

So long as one does not despair so long as one doesn't look upon life bitterly things work out fairly well in the end.

Most deadly errors arise from obsolete assumptions.

No one can draw more out of things, books included, than he already knows. A man has no ears for that to which experience has given him no access.

Good work is not done by 'humble' men

A day in which you do goodness far away from the crowds is indeed a very good day!

Prejudices are not easily got rid of as an old coat which is no longer thought of.

Only a man who is happy can create happiness in others.
