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.

And we've got a toaster and everything. So there is no reason for the wedding.

But I'm not an idiot. At the end of the day, I've learned a lot.

If you're doing the same job every day, there's room for error.

Parrots have gone a bit quiet since pirates have gone.

To me, a cat is an easy pet, they don't need any spoiling or looking after.

I've never understood the 'things to do before you die' idea. If I was ill, I'd be in no mood to have a swim with a dolphin.

They say it all started out with a big bang. But, what I wonder is, was it a big bang or did it just seem big because there wasn't anything else drown it out at the time?

Chinese people age overnight.

It would be spiteful to put a Jellyfish in a trifle.

People who live in glass houses... have to answer the door.

It's not easy keeping a diary. You have to be pretty committed.

If you sit in a bath of pineapple chunks, it can kill you. That's well documented.

A slug is always on its own. It's a lonely insect.

I'd rather live in a cave with a view of a palace than live in a palace with a view of a cave.
