I don't really go out at night in terms of noisy, busy places; I prefer more of a quiet corner somewhere.

I am into nature and seeing whales. I went whale-watching, and I was really looking forward to that, but when you see it on TV and you see other programs do it, you're seeing close-ups of these massive creatures, and the music that's added gives you a certain feeling.

I don't know any Londoners 'cos I'm from Manchester.

It's not a joke: I really do like being at home.

You can only live to be so old, then you gotta let go.

You know, when you're a producer, you're a bit of a lackey. You're just making cups of tea and making sure they've got newspaper, stuff like that.

Sometimes you can know too much. A lot of brainy people like Stephen Fry are quite depressive.

We'll all die out eventually. Humans will be gone. And all I'm saying is, when people worry about polar bears disappearing or whatever, it's like, 'Well that's life, things will come and go, we'll find new species.'

Everyone is living for everyone else now. They're doing stuff so they can tell other people about it. I don't get all that social media stuff, I've always got other things I want to do - odd jobs around the house. No one wants to hear about that.

Being honest with you, it's not the 'great' wall of China. It's an all right wall. It's the 'All Right Wall of China.'

People eat duck and you think, well, we've got loads of chickens, leave the ducks alone!

People who live in a glass house have to answer the door.

At the end of the day, teachers aren't going to mess about trying to make me into an Einstein, 'cause it was never gonna happen. We can't all be brainy, can we? That's just the way the world is.

With evolution, things are always changing, so I sort of think: Should we all be growing three heads?

I've got loads of nieces and nephews.

I'm not a proper traveler. I don't like to be challenged or have too much of a change and prefer a week away just to relax.

When you've been on a programme called 'An Idiot Abroad' job offers aren't exactly flying in.

I think it's a problem when something's a dream because it'll never live up to your expectations. It's better to go somewhere thinking it'll be horrible, and then be pleasantly surprised.

I'm not that lazy, but I don't need that much money. I lead a fairly simple life.

I was impressed by the Taj Mahal. A good bit of work, well looked after, worth paying money to see.

With acting, I didn't get much from it.

I don't watch much telly, the telly hardly goes on, but the things I do watch are sort of nature programs, and something about the oceans and the amount of weird fish that's in there.

I found that being with happy positive people annoys me.

I'd say the best is when I was in Africa, I saw a hippo in a house. Someone had a pet hippo. And they're meant to be one of the most dangerous animals on the planet, and they had one that was sort of just wandering in and out of their house, just sort of roaming about.
