• If you can't look a knob in the face there's something wrong.
• The Chinese, they don't age well. You never see a sort of 35 year old one. Well, they're good looking when they're young but they age overnight. They're like a pear.
• The reason I did the book about holidays is that you're a different person on holiday. You're sleeping somewhere unfamiliar, knocking about with people you've never met and for 10 days you're someone else. You're out of your comfortable zone.
• I found that being with happy positive people annoys me.
• People who live in a glass house have to answer the door.
• I'd rather live in a cave with a view of a palace than live in a palace with a view of a cave.
• 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.
• When I go on holiday and people ask me what I do, I tell them I do some internet stuff and I've done a couple of books and I hope they just leave it at that.
• But I'm not an idiot. At the end of the day, I've learned a lot.
• That's the problem with having a bald head. It exaggerates the shape.
• And we've got a toaster and everything. So there is no reason for the wedding.
• I just sort of go along and say what I think -and that's all you can do in life, really.
• 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.'
• If you sit in a bath of pineapple chunks, it can kill you. That's well documented.
• It's like there's some unwritten rule that if you're mates, you can say what you want to each other, and you don't really get that annoyed about it.
• I don't know what the future is, but you just do it whilst it's there, don't you?
• I'm not that lazy, but I don't need that much money. I lead a fairly simple life.
• Yesterday, I did some painting then went out to buy an onion and came home and watched 'University Challenge.' The onion was probably the highlight.
• Me mum used to always have the radio on - even now she has it on in every room. Me girlfriend sort of blames that reason for me not doing that well at school - constant noise, really.

• With evolution, things are always changing, so I sort of think: Should we all be growing three heads?
• 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 had a bad experience doing public speaking at school. I had to talk about a pen for five minutes and it was really hard work. I couldn't wait to get off the stage.
• 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.'
• 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.
• Who'd have thought the Frisbee would have caught on?
• You can only live to be so old, then you gotta let go.
• I came face-to-face with a gorilla which was quite good, but it was a 10-hour trek in bad weather, up hills, covered in mud, with mosquitoes everywhere and when we got there the gorilla's just sat there doing nowt.

• People say if bees die out, the world would end, apparently. Now, I don't know if that's true, if that's some bee enthusiast who managed to write a good document, and people believe this.
• 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.

• If you're doing the same job every day, there's room for error.
• For me, a good holiday is about value for money rather than things to see.
• 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.
• I don't want to go about offending people; that's not my plan.
• I don't think I'd be a very good parent. I'd be too honest.
• I don't know what I'm meant to do. I'm not important, am I? I'm not doing anything that makes a difference.

• I drive a car, like an adult. Not brilliantly. I'm not great.
• 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.
• When you've been on a programme called 'An Idiot Abroad' job offers aren't exactly flying in.
• To be honest, marriage doesn't scare me and that, it's just once you've been together for so long, if you haven't got any kids it's just a big expensive day out for everyone else to enjoy, isn't it?
• I think it's mental to pay for water. Where is that water coming from? Are they in the hills puttin' it into bottles when years ago it used to roll down and go into the lakes?
• I love nature - it's probably my most favorite thing. 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 don't know any Londoners 'cos I'm from Manchester.
• The poorer people and criminals of Mexico who are not very religious but not quite atheists, either, worship Saint Death.
• I mean, I don't really go out at night in terms of noisy, busy places; I prefer more of a quiet corner somewhere.
• All fame is is having people you don't know coming up to you and saying, 'Hello.' I'm always polite and people are always nice, but it's weird.
• Making the 'An Idiot Abroad' series, I was really dreading going to India; I thought I'd hate it. It was a nightmare, and I was really ill - just like everyone says.
• I've never worried about life's big questions.
• I've never won many awards, I didn't get certificates for swimming or anything.
• I don't know what 'famous' is, really.
• I'm not invited to any exciting parties and my life hasn't really changed.
• If you'd have told me five years ago that I'd have done all this - two books, some television and everything - I'd panic, I'd be scared.
• If you go away with, you know, a girlfriend, wife, whatever, you have an argument on holiday because you're not used to spending that much time with people.
• With acting, I didn't get much from it.
• We should all love animals.
• To me, a cat is an easy pet, they don't need any spoiling or looking after.
• Sometimes you can know too much. A lot of brainy people like Stephen Fry are quite depressive.
• Stay Green. Stay in the Woods. Stay Safe.
• I mean: I don't know what I mean.
