I'd like to think that I'm getting slightly more mature as time goes on, but I don't know if my fiancee would necessarily agree.

I'm a Hawaiian shirt guy. I've made that life decision.

I'm a huge, huge believer in love. Huge!

I'm more like a spoon symbol. I think women just want to spoon me.

I'm probably working on three different scripts at any time, so there's never a time where I've got nothing to do.

In comedy it helps if there's a friendly atmosphere on the set.

Louis C. K. makes me laugh, I must say.

People in England talk about stupid Hollywood idiots, but the industry attracts some of the cleverest people in the world.

Put it this way: singing is not my day job.

Reviewers are the worst laughers in the world.

Social media is great, I guess, but it feels like technology is the sapper of innocence.

The bottom line is that female writers aren't being given enough opportunities by male producers.

The fame thing has happened very gradually, so I've been kind of lucky.

There tends to be a jealousy in England towards countries that are successful.

What I think improv is great for is making dialogue more natural.

I don't know if I'd do an action movie because I don't know if I could keep a straight face; honestly, I just think it's so silly. Like, I love watching them but I can't imagine me doing one.

I feel like I need to start wearing a T-shirt saying 'This is not a photo opportunity'. People are so lovely but you do find that when you're out you spend 40% of your time posing for photographs.

I get asked all the time if I want to do more dramatic acting, and I really doubt that dramatic actors get asked if they want to do more comedies. I don't really know why that is.

I think there's something in the fact that it's hard to be good looking and funny. You have to have an oddball quality; people have to sympathise with you to find you funny.

I'm never overawed by a situation and I think that's because I've always looked several years older than I am. So because people were treating me like I was 40 when I was 29, I've always felt in control of a situation. People used to say, when you're 32, you'll look 32. I'm still waiting for that moment, where my age catches up with my appearance.
