I draw from the most pompous people, who are the people that make me laugh the most.
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.
If your catchphrase has appeared in men's toilets, then you know you've made it!
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.
