I Think You Need To Have The

I Like The British Public. There Is Something In This Country Called Tall Poppy Syndrome. You're Good But You're Not That Good, Pal, Ok? The Natural State Of Our Nation Is Slightly Miserable, And Probably The Healthier For It. In America You Don't Get A Key Down The Side Of Your Bentley.

Two Thousand Years Ago, The Holy Family Had A Ramble From Nazareth To Bethlehem - In Much The Same Way As I'm Having A Ramble From Norwich To Swaffham. Although I'm Not Comparing Myself To Jesus - I Don't Want To Get Bogged Down In That Whole Controversy Again.

I Am Not A Politician Going Around Bragging About Family Values Or Putting Myself On Some Ridiculous Virtuous Pedestal. I Write Comedy. And I Am An Actor. I Am Not Going To Solve The Nation's Problems. I Don't Actually Spend My Life In The Way The Tabloids Like To Think I Do. I Actually Spend 95 Percent Of It Writing Comedy. Sober. Well, Nearly Sober Anyway.

I Woke With A Start. At First I Assumed I'd Trumped Myself Awake Again.

I Think It's Always Funny When You See Kids Do Shakespeare. When I Was At School, I Was In Hamlet. I Played Claudius, Who's Supposed To Be A 60-year-old Man, And I Was Like 18. It's Inherently Ridiculous Seeing 18-year-old Boys With Gray Beards. That's Always Funny.
