I was on holiday in Ibiza, having a lovely time, writing a book and looking at the stars every night and generally not having a care in the world. Then I got sent the script for 'Death in Paradise.' I couldn't get back to England in time for the auditions, so my girlfriend filmed me on her camera, and I sent it off via email.
Quote by -Ben Miller
Things like 'The Office,' and arguably shows like 'The Only Way Is Essex,' are comedies, just using real people in real situations.
Quote by -Ben Miller
Comedy's about things the way they are. It's about the world as it is, not the world as we would like it to be, and science is the same, really.
Quote by -Ben Miller
Personally, I think people need to get over this 'being offended' thing. Being offended does not give you the right to silence people. I get offended by things all the time - it's just part of life. The right not to be offended is not a human right, especially in a democracy.
Quote by -Ben Miller
I get dissatisfied really easily, and I have to constantly keep moving; I have to constantly keep doing things. I find it very hard to switch off.
Quote by -Ben Miller
I'm always a bit wary when people say in interviews, 'I'm at the happiest place of my life that I've ever been.' I think, 'Really? Are you?' Life is a mix, isn't it?
Quote by -Ben Miller
I studied physics at university, and I'm still a sucker for an experiment or scientific theory.
Quote by -Ben Miller
Actually I don't mind the gym when I get there, but I hate the psychological battle I have to go through to get there.
Quote by -Ben Miller
Every meal is so important and colours the rest of your day - my whole day can go into a spin if I make the wrong choice at lunchtime!
Quote by -Ben Miller
Comedy is my proper job. It's what I should be doing, and when I do other bits like my science series, I miss it.
Quote by -Ben Miller
I've turned down all sorts of good things accidentally, too. I read the script for 'Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind' and thought, 'This makes no sense.' Then I went to the cinema to see it. Well, what an idiot.
Quote by -Ben Miller
I'm really spectacularly thick in all areas of my life except comedy and science. I'm crap at everything else.
Quote by -Ben Miller
This is a shameful thing to say, but I've never really got that 'grown-up' mind-set. I have to buy forks? Why?
Quote by -Ben Miller
My father was always clowning around. It was a huge influence on me. In my family, everything is turned into a joke.
Quote by -Ben Miller
For my mother, everything stands in relation to her Welshness; the fact she married an Englishman seems to be something of an issue. She's kind of anti-English... anti-imperialist.
Quote by -Ben Miller
I very much wanted the perfect nuclear family, and I came from the perfect nuclear family, but like so many people, that isn't the way things have worked out.
Quote by -Ben Miller
I used to fantasise about being able to stay up all night; now I fantasise about how early I can go to bed. Tragic isn't it?
Quote by -Ben Miller
I've been going bald since I was about 17. I'm still hanging on to my hair for dear life, but I do sometimes wonder - should I get a wig?
Quote by -Ben Miller
I'm not a 'suffer in silence' type; I'm a 'let's throw money at the problem' type - I've done reflexology, reiki, psychotherapy, counselling. I've never actually had analysis, but I'd like to try that sometime.
Quote by -Ben Miller
I did a very stupid diet where you have three food groups, and you never eat them together. It's so bloody tedious; I'm losing the will to live just describing it. I managed to stay very thin because you spent your life wandering around starving hungry looking for a chickpea to go with a chicken leg.
Quote by -Ben Miller
You meet every different kind of possible person from different ethnic and cultural background, and after you while, you realise it's all just people, isn't it?
Quote by -Ben Miller
My enthusiasm for L.A. stems from my father, who was a lecturer in American literature at the University of Birmingham. Through his work, our family did several house swaps with L.A. families. It was a dreadfully daring thing to do in the early 1980s; there was no Internet, so you had no idea of what you were getting into.
Quote by -Ben Miller
Initially, the best thing about being in L.A. was the girls - they loved me. It was like being a pop star.
Quote by -Ben Miller
I go back to L.A. as often as I can, and even if I'm there on business, I always add on a few extra days for pleasure.
Quote by -Ben Miller
L.A.'s hippies are actually quite scary - more like Hell's Angels than the Haight-Ashbury hippies of San Francisco.
Quote by -Ben Miller
Much as I respect Russell Brand's point of view, I'm in the opposite camp to him about voting. I think it's enormously important to engage with the electoral process.
Quote by -Ben Miller
I adored 'Drop the Dead Donkey.' That show defined Channel 4 at the time; it was so inventive and off the leash.
Quote by -Ben Miller
I can be indecisive about things - and the less important something is, the more indecisive I am.
Quote by -Ben Miller
Probably one of the reasons I became a comedian is that you get a chance to control when people laugh at you.
Quote by -Ben Miller
I work out in the Caribbean for half the year, playing a detective who's really into science. Anybody who knows me will tell you that's a dream come true. But it's tough for my family. We only get to see each other every two and a half to three weeks.
Quote by -Ben Miller
That was one of the amazing things about Doctor Who. Considering it is such an enormous charabanc, a centerpiece of international TV, it feels incredibly small when you are actually involved in it. It is very intimate, very small; it feels like a few people messing about with a camera.
Quote by -Ben Miller
It was only in the second year of my Ph.D. that I started acting. I wasn't in school plays or anything; I was in bands, but I wasn't cool. There's no such thing as a cool physics person, is there?
Quote by -Ben Miller
All men in their 40s want to be in rock bands, and I reserve the right to be in a pub band at some point.
Quote by -Ben Miller
One of the saddest things I've ever done is download 'I'm A Teenage Dirtbag' by Wheatus and play along with it with my headphones on. Oh, God. If you were to walk in and see me do that, you would really worry for me.
Quote by -Ben Miller
I'd like to have a neck. Everyone else has a neck, but I never got one; I don't know what happened. I'm not asking for much: just some sort of separation between my head and my body would be great.
Quote by -Ben Miller
My kids are blissfully unaware of anything I do. I asked my four-year-old, Harrison, what I did, and he said, 'You're an electrician.' He must have seen me changing a lightbulb.
Quote by -Ben Miller
We all know to eat green vegetables and oily fish, but who does that? I'll have a cake, thanks.
Quote by -Ben Miller
Prostate cancer has taken a lot from me. First it took my grandfather and then my dad.
