There's nothing better than just staring at a buttercup, struggling to make an impact on the world.

I was a solicitor once, so I'm truly grateful because I know what it's like to have a proper job.

I worked in a chicken factory, in a steel foundry, I worked on the bins for a year or so. It started as a summer job, but I stayed on because I liked it very much. I liked it that it made you very fit, doing all the lifting and that, so I could wear short-sleeved t-shirts, which I'd never been able to do before!

I used to like getting cups and putting tiny bits of food and liquids in them. I'd grow mould plumes in the dark wardrobe of my little back bedroom. Not to eat them, mind - just to admire the growing power.

I started to realize that comedy is what I really wanted to do, but I didn't want to do stand-up.

I think superheroes are heroes with flaws, and in their flaws, there is a sense of humor.

With silly stuff, it's seventy-five percent confidence. I always tell people that it's because I'm nervous about getting that next laugh and I need to hear it. I always want to condense a joke.

If I didn't try to eavesdrop on every bus ride I take or look for the humor when I go for a walk, I would just be depressed all the time.
