I hardly ever drink.

I do a very good Sunday roast.

My whole life has been a holiday!

My childhood hero was Roy Rogers.

I love all aspects of performance.

I don't like the taste of alcohol.

I love reading when I'm on holiday.

I'm a jack of all trades, master of none.

A lot of what journalists write is drivel.

Anything to do with Heathrow is a nightmare.

I was always a late developer - in every field.

Celebrity's a spectator sport. You have to feed it.

Vanity takes a lot of work. I'm too lazy to be vain.

One Direction prove you can generate success from anything.

Women are women's own worst enemy. They rip each other apart.

I knew Joe Strummer back in the days before he formed the Clash.

I can't have wet wool next to my skin because it really affects it.

A performer, that's what I am, only I can perform in different areas.

I'm very good at pretending to be subservient; I'm really good at it.

I have never ever hung out with actors and comedians. I can't stand it.

I didn't really do any acting until I was about 28. I just did odd jobs.

I'm in love with corrugated iron buildings, especially chapels and churches.

Without history we are nothing, so it's worth finding out something about it.

I've always maintained if you want to act you should get yourself a life first.

Give me some grilled halloumi and a bit of hummus to snack on, and I'm in heaven.

I would have loved to have been in Hong Kong, or China, in around the 18th century.

If the press can take the easy option, they will. To them, I'm always 'the wild man.'

I'm primarily an actor and only make documentaries when I see a story others have missed.

We are governed by consumerism and it's terrible when that is all that life is geared to.

I would be a fool to say I enjoyed being in borstal, but when I was there I had a great time.

Journalists have so much newsprint to fill, the details are the last of their considerations.

There must be something about me and teeth when I'm filming abroad, I don't have a lot of luck.

When I've had money I've always spent it. I don't invest. A pension? Yes, it's called my talent.

The Internet is a global lavatory wall, a Rabelaisian mixture of truth, lies, insanity and humour.

I'm delighted that the BBC has given me the chance to delve into the murky world of 'The Body Farm.'

Women want to be entertained. They want value for money from a man. You have to have the whole package.

Obviously I have propagated the occasional myth about myself, because the real me, I'm not worth knowing.

I don't think I've ever hurt anybody. I think I'll stand up on the day of judgment and go, 'Yeah? So what?'

The act of littering annoys me more than anything, particularly drivers who throw stuff out of the car window.

I hate technically constructed actors. In fact, I hate anything technically constructed, unless it's a bridge.

If you're on a film set for 48 weeks of the year, you're nowhere near reality. You can't emote like a human being.

I don't want to be loved. No interest in being loved whatsoever. Actually, I don't mind being misunderstood either.

There's more violence in one football game than there is in an entire hockey season, and nobody ever talks about that.

I only did the comedy thing because I just thought I could do it better than anyone else at the time. And I was right.

I loathe the very thought of airports and also airlines taking as much from you as possible and giving very little back.

Jeremy Corbyn... love him. Right person, right time. He's like a poultice, drawing Blairite disease out of the Labour party.

I guess there's a part of me that loves institutionalism. And borstal is tailor-made for you to buck against. It was perfect.

Growing up we were very working-class; you had dinner at 12, then tea at 4:30. If you got supper, you were doing bloody well.

I have no ambition whatsoever. I don't know whether that's because I'm afraid of losing, or of failure - of not being the best.

In the summer, 80 per cent of what I eat comes from my allotment. I grow everything from beetroots and leeks to apples and plums.
