You're only as good as your last joke, your last show, your last whatever. The confidence is there, but underneath, there is always insecurity.

I like doing film, you know, single-camera.

I still do standup.

I love standup and I haven't given it up.

I just go to work, come home. And my wife lets me throw my clothes on the floor, and she doesn't say anything, so I must be making some money.

I think that as actors age, the work becomes more organic to them.

The best comedy, I feel, comes in a drama because it balances each other out.

I would get my student loans, get money, register and never really go. It was a system I thought would somehow pan out.

If I'm really considering doing film from now on then that is the smart thing to do, or you can go either way. You can just do the same character over and over again and make a different comedy like over and over again.

I have the show because I'm insecure. It's my insecurity that makes me want to be a comic, that makes me need the audience.

You don't want to shock them and do something totally opposite, but you also want to play a different character.

It seems to be a common denominator with a lot of comics, this low self-esteem thing.

It's my insecurity that makes me want to be a comic, that makes me need the audience.

I've always wondered, what am I going to do that's important with these stupid jokes that I tell.

I live in L.A. Now.

I have this mistress: show business.

I just don't want to play the same guy again over and over.

I lived at home till I was 29.

I don't want to say work is who I am, but some people feel more centered and more whole when they're producing and creating.

I don't think men talk as much as women, but when we have something on our minds we'll get it out.

The only thing I miss from the sitcom format is that immediate gratification of when you're, if we're talking about comedy, of the live audience.

Well, I'm a 14 handicap. Anyone who golfs knows what that means.

I still got my hair, I'm not fat.

You meet someone, you care for them, and you fall in love; it's what it is.

I was looking for something to make me happy, and once I realised what I actually had, then I found success.

I can do an OK manicure, but I need to stick to singing.

We have two older brothers and two younger sisters; Sam and I are in the middle, and I've always felt protective and closest to him.

I'm not on the stage going, 'Look at me! I'm amazing!' I accept my vulnerability, don't pretend I'm something I'm not. I don't want to come across as fake.

It's sad really, I think 'Freedom' would've done better, but it got shelved because of the pregnancy, so it might be something that might get revisited in the future; who knows?

I'm quite good at knowing, 'This isn't right for me,' or, 'That person will be really good at singing that.'

I think that's what I love about jazz is that you can do what you want, and you're allowed to mess up.

That's what I've tried to do: I've tried to make music that I really love.

You always have guilt as a working mum, and you overcompensate by buying them loads of things. That was what I was doing, anyway. I've kind of realised now that I'm the best mum that I can be.

Women's bodies are amazing; what our bodies can do is incredible, so it's sad that we get distracted - all this stuff about being skinny, be this, be that - they're all distractions.

I believe things are meant to be. It's the only way I can explain it because I had auditioned before to get on 'The X Factor' and 'Britain's Got Talent,' and I didn't get through - it was literally, 'No!'

My mum is a lovely woman, so strong but so kind and compassionate. She brought us up to be proud, loving and forgiving.

I came from nothing. We didn't have money, so I started work at 14 because I really needed the money.

Work made me more streetwise because you can be so sheltered at home. I'd definitely encourage my kids Lillie and Karl, who are nine and seven, to get Saturday jobs in the future.

After 'X Factor,' I got loads of gigs. Then I went on holiday just after the tour and bought my Rolex in Tenerife. I needed to go through that phase - splurge and see that it's worthless - to get it out of my system.

My nan taught me never to put value on possessions but to value family, friends and people. I buy lovely things and enjoy them, but they don't rule me.

My first-ever date on my first tour, the sound completely cut out. So I had to go on and just shout loudly to the audience.

I love a good remix! Moto Blanco did a great one of 'I Hope'.

For me, it's not about quick grabs and quick sales; it's about having a sound that will last and sustain.

I feel like people are just waiting for me to fail, so I have to be careful what decisions I make in my career.

If I got married one day and settled down, I would love to have more children.

I want to go out with my friends and have a laugh. It's funny: you always attract men when you don't want them - you'll go out, and they'll want your number, while you're left thinking, 'Where were you when I wanted a boyfriend?'

I'm playing with music and working on different types of music. But I've realised that I can't really stray from what is my marker.

There's certain people that do pop well. Beyonce's one of them, Rihanna, Rita Ora, I could go on and on. You've got to recognise what your talent and niche is.

I do love dance music, but at the same time, I'm not looking to put out a big pop album. You've got to be the best you can be.

I'm very proud of my roots, and I would never try not to be who I am.
