'Lesbian Vampire Killers' was quite embarrassing.

I've never seen the film 'Gulliver's Travels' - and I'm in it.

People say: 'Oh, but would you be happy for your show to go on BBC3 if it was just online?' If I was sat here telling you I had just signed a huge deal with Netflix you'd be going: 'Wow, that's amazing.' You can't see it as 'Oh, it's no longer a channel because it's not on TV.'

There is really no one who hasn't made mistakes in their career. I'm always shocked that people would be so surprised that I might make mistakes. Martin Scorsese has made mistakes - why can't I?

I saw Boy George looking amazing, absolutely unbelievable, and messaged him asking for the number of his nutritionist. I got in touch with her, and she put me on this diet plan, working out which foods do and don't suit me. It's not rocket science - basically, don't eat cake, don't eat bread.

I want to be Gary Barlow and peak when I'm 40. That's my plan - he's who I'm modeling myself on. Most people are completely beautiful when they're young, and then there's always a point when they get older where they say: 'Oh, what happened?!'

My biggest tip is this... treat bread like chocolate. You wouldn't have a chocolate bar in the morning and then a double chocolate bar at lunch and then some chocolate before dinner. I was essentially eating a loaf of bread a day. And that doesn't work for me.

It's enough now of being unhealthy. I have a family, and I owe it to them to be as healthy as I can. A great sense of clarity comes when you have a child. It shows the important stuff to be important.

It is hard because I love Cornettos, so that will always be a weakness, and I've realised that bread is my nemesis. I believe bread has been sent to destroy me to the core.

My major ambition is just to stay relevant.

I've been lucky enough that in the U.K., I've done shows that have aired once a week. I make a show there that runs seasonally, and we make one episode a week, and that is great - the value of time. You can really think and finesse what you want to do.

I enjoy, always, the feeling of being in front of an audience.

The positivity of the Obamas as a family is undeniable.

If you're big at school, you've really got two choices. You're going to be a target. If you go to school, and you're me, you go, 'Right - I'm just going to make myself a bigger target. My confidence, it will terrify them.' That's how I felt in school.

I could never understand, when I watch romantic comedies, the notion that for some reason, unattractive or heavy people don't fall in love. If they do, it's in some odd, kooky, roundabout way - and it's not. It's exactly the same.

I met my wife; she barely owned a television and worked for Save the Children. We sat down one night, and we fell in love, and that was it.

I have friends at home who love 'The Tonight Show' with Jimmy Fallon. They live in the U.K., and they've never seen an episode, but they love it.

I'm very lucky, in that I've known Adele for quite some time.

I'm not a stand-up comedian; I'm not a satirist.

First concert I saw was a British boy band called Take That when I was 14 or 15. I went with nine girls from school.

I think the weather here is a big attraction for anyone. But also, there are more creative people per square mile in L.A. than anywhere in the world. They make 'The Simpsons' here. Anywhere they make 'The Simpsons' is a good place to be.

I don't want to feel like I'm a television host - because I don't think that I am. What I really want to feel like is, I am you; I just happen to be here.

I'm never going to try 'Carpool Karaoke' in New York. That would be a very different thing. Mariah Carey's one, we just drove, like, five or six blocks round where she was staying at the time.

Manufacturing is more than just putting parts together. It's coming up with ideas, testing principles and perfecting the engineering, as well as final assembly.

Enjoy failure and learn from it. You can never learn from success.

Failure is an enigma. You worry about it, and it teaches you something.

You need a stubborn belief in an idea in order to see it realised.

The one size fits all approach of standardized testing is convenient but lazy.

Everyone has ideas. They may be too busy or lack the confidence or technical ability to carry them out. But I want to carry them out. It is a matter of getting up and doing it.

As an engineer I'm constantly spotting problems and plotting how to solve them.

When you say 'design,' everybody thinks of magazine pages. So it's an emotive word. Everybody thinks it's how something looks, whereas for me, design is pretty much everything.

Design and technology should be the subject where mathematical brainboxes and science whizzkids turn their bright ideas into useful products.

When you can't compete on cost, compete on quality.

If robots are to clean our homes, they'll have to do it better than a person.

Stumbling upon the next great invention in an 'ah-ha!' moment is a myth.

Children want the challenge of difficult tasks - just look how much better they are than their parents on a computer.

It is an extreme perversion of capitalism if you can trade in something before you have even paid for it.

In the digital age of 'overnight' success stories such as Facebook, the hard slog is easily overlooked.

Life is a mountain of solvable problems, and I enjoy that.

If you want to do something different, you're going to come up against a lot of naysayers.

Engineering undergraduates should not be charged fees. They should receive grants, not student loans, and the government will get the money back long-term from increased exports.

There's nothing wrong with things taking time.

What I often do is just think of a completely obtuse thing to do, almost the wrong thing to do. That often works because you start a different approach, something no one has tried.

I don't believe in brands.

The computer dictates how you do something, whereas with a pencil you're totally free.

We have to change our culture so you can create wealth from making things and don't just try to make money out of money.

I don't particularly follow the Bauhaus school of design, where you make everything into a black box - simplify it.

People buy products if they're better.

People will make leaps of faith and get excited by your product if you just get it in front of them.

At school, I enjoyed playing the bassoon. I was in the orchestra and played the melody when the other boys sang hymns at prayers time.
