When I do a voiceover now, there are always a few people I've borrowed bits off, whether it's their hats or facial hair, who'll say: 'That's so funny; it's obviously based on this guy.' You think, 'It ain't: it's you.' Actors never think characters are based on them.

Actors are a great subject for a comedy. They're inherently funny because, like sportsmen, they take themselves so seriously.

A lot of actors do that - they blame their failure on their agents or their photos. But that is just putting off the real issues.

My uncle used to take me out at night shooting rabbits.

I've been collecting synths since the late '80s. They weren't very fashionable then, so you could pick up pretty cool stuff for a few hundred quid.
