David Walliams's quotes

• [on Peter O'Toole] He was hugely entertaining. The greatest company. A legend on screen and off.
• I love the idea of someone who's not prepared to compromise to fit into society. That's why my first children's book, The Boy in the Dress, is about how it's OK to be different.
• I've always been drawn to talented people.
• I still love Flash Gordon (1980) because it's the anti-Star Wars [Star Wars (1977)]: camp, fun, very sexy (although I only realised that as an adult!)
• I don't know what I'll be like when I'm 60. I already have the traits of a retired gentleman.
• I love telling stories. I love the intimacy between the writer and reader. When you write sketches it's over in two minutes. When you write a book the characters have to have a bit of emotional depth.
• I've just swum the length of the Thames. I feel quite tired.
• I was the kind of person who got bullied and loved the attention of it.
• I used to have a silk dressing gown an uncle bought in Japan and when I came downstairs in it, my dad used to call me Davinia. There was never embarrassment about that kind of thing. My sister used to dress me up a lot. She thought I was a little doll.
• The one good thing about our school was the Cadets; I chose to be in the Navy, purely for the sailor's outfit. A pity we had to give them back.
• All human life can be found in an airport.
• TV has lost a lot of its self-confidence as its power has been eroded by the internet.
• I was born in 1971, and Tom Baker was sort of my obsession as a kid and that's why we got him to do the voice over for 'Little Britain' because I was actually obsessed with Tom Baker.
• I just want to be happy, have kids, enjoy my life, help others and create some good work.
• I haven't traditionally been a family entertainer.
• I don't have a lot to share with other men. My heart sinks when I get into a taxi and someone starts talking to me about football.
• Reality always outstrips fiction. Whatever you make up, something more incredible always pops up in real life.
• I was depressed as a child. I found it hard to make friends. My favorite thing was locking myself in the bathroom and practicing comedy routines.
• Definitely I love women, I love being around women, I find them incredible and intoxicating, and I've never had that feeling I get with women with a man.
• I thrive off the company of others, I love being sociable.
• I don't think comedy is necessarily an attack. It's finding humor in life. I don't think if you're making a joke about something you're automatically demeaning it.
• It's a weird thing because I've been single at the time when I've been successful. That's good and bad. Good, because you meet lots of people, bad because your privacy is infringed, so it's harder to develop things.
• It can be difficult to be subtle and not cartoony in prosthetics. But when you see characters like Bubbles and Desiree from 'Little Britain' on screen, it makes all the hard work worth it. It's such fun watching those transformations.
• Social satire has been around since people have been around.
• I know somebody from university who's called Phil Collins, and I think there's something terribly unfortunate about sharing a name with somebody who either is famous or becomes famous.
• People think writing a children's book is something you could do in an afternoon but it's actually really hard.
• Children's books are often seen as the poor relation of literature. But children are just as demanding as adult readers, if not more so. I should know. I'm a children's writer myself.
• I love wearing drag.
• There's something about being a comedian that means you have to not be scared of failing because failing is part of the process.
• I can't see why anyone would want to be in politics because you get so much criticism.
• I have a pathological fear of being on my own. When I'm with my own thoughts, I start to unravel myself, and I start to think really dark thoughts, self-destructive thoughts.
• There's a sort of magic and music to comedy. Some words, some numbers even, are funnier than others. A Caramac bar, for instance, is funnier than a Milky Way.
• I'm not a political thinker, but I've just always thought of myself as a Labour supporter. I was a great fan of Tony Blair. He sent me a letter before I swam the Channel to wish me luck.
• Sometimes you meet people who can't swim. And I always think: 'Oh my God, that's extraordinary.' For me, it's always been a treat... I just feel really happy in the water.
• It's easier not to make a particular joke in case it offends. But every joke will offend someone, and I've always believed that the audience is bigger than one person. The danger is that things will become bland.
• I was quite fat as a kid. And swimming is a sport you can enjoy whatever size you are. If you're fat, running is a pain. I'm not really built for running.
• When you are doing endurance swimming you just need to take in as many carbs as possible to put on as much weight as you can. Basically you can eat whatever you want, which can be quite fun. Everything is guilt-free.
• I don't get recognized much, and am very happy with that. The fans I have met have all been delightful.
• I would recommend that anyone who wants to do comedy on TV to do radio first.
• The most used piece of kit in my kitchen is my saucepan. I use it every morning to cook my porridge in. The least used piece of equipment? I'd say a food mixer. I've never used it, I don't really know what they're for.
• When I want comfort food, I buy Maltesers. I like all chocolates, but especially those. You can eat them, and because they're so light, you can convince yourself that they are not actually that fattening.
• I'm terribly attention-seeking. It's very different once you get all this attention, though. Because then you want to control it. And you can't exactly.
• We sit in a room for months trying to think of funny things.
• I have always liked shows that have laughter in them.
• Ricky Gervais would have you believe otherwise, but Sacha Baron Cohen is the most successful British comedian in the world.
• I haven't put much effort into my personal life and blithely believe it will turn out all right in the end.
• We sort of expect to see men in women's clothes. It's part of our culture. The key thing is, it has to be done quite badly.
