I don't really consider myself to be famous.
It's huge in the U.K., if someone's doing well, to put them down. That's what we do all the time. It's kind of like a cultural thing.
I have never been a star; I'm just an old character bag.
I came second in a 1,500-metre running race at school. I knew I couldn't have come first, so second was my version of first.
I am, in some sense, a writer. Even though I kinda downplay the word thing, I do enjoy writing sometimes.
There's no success story. Everybody's got a ghetto story. You always want to make it bigger than what it is.
I'm not the comic of the generation, I'm not even the funniest guy in my family.
I've been calling myself 'just an actor' since I was 6 years old. That's a long time.
I'm just an actor. Just a stupid actor.
My wife is like, You finally get your own TV show, you can have any kind of car you want and you get a darned truck. But my brother and I have the same kind of truck now.
I think women have a lack of confidence. They often apologize; I was guilty of that too. When people have said, "Oh, look at your success," I would downplay it.
You know when something feels so good but you're afraid to feel good about it? So you kinda hold back? Everyone says, Congratulations, you must be so happy. And you say something stupid like, I'm just doing what little I can with what little I have.
I was a guy who showed up for work and took the chance for finding out whether I could do it or not... I'd like to think I made my success not at the expense of anyone. Success was accidental.
I'm not normally a jewelry person. I'm supposed to be a working class champion and all, and I don't like to rub my success in people's faces.
I'm having a great career, though I think I'm not as good as your little scenario makes me out to be.
