I look up to Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon. I'm a huge fan of their work. I also like actors who really transform themselves, like Joaquin Phoenix. And I loved Robin Williams growing up. He does comedy and drama so brilliantly.

Hollywood has never been a goal, necessarily - there was no 'Conquer America' game plan for me.

This is a business, and no one enters a race not to finish first. I wouldn't say I'm in it for the competition, but I'm certainly not just in it to coast along. I want to be the best I possibly can be.

Somehow I got a place at Bristol University. I'm still waiting for the phone call to say that they made a mistake and got the wrong person.

Comedy is not an easy genre.

I honestly believe life is a combination of laughter and tears, and it's almost always better to laugh than to cry.

The real heart of comedy is uncovering a truth about yourself or about the world that you didn't see.

There's so much joy in doing comedy work, and that's one of the reasons I like to do it - because it's just a hilarious day at work.
