There’s something about being a comedian that means you have to not be scared of failing because failing is part of the process.

Comedian Mean Scared
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.

Writing for radio really focuses the mind, because you can’t rely on thinking “Oh, just pull a funny face at the end of this sketch.” You’ve got to try to work on the words.
DAVID WALLIAMS

Mind Thinking Writing
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.

It’s strange how sometimes you can be so happy it goes all the way round to sadness.

Sadness Strange Way
I think most people that do comedy write for themselves. I don’t think there is any other way you can do it, really. Otherwise it would be quite cynical.

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.

I have always liked shows that have laughter in them.
DAVID WALLIAMS

Always Laughter Shows
I think comedy is a bit more international than people credit. I happily watch lots of American shows and American comedy films. If I did a list of the top 10 comedy films in Britain, there’s no sense that it would probably be different than yours.

Different People Thinking
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.
DAVID WALLIAMS

Attention Different Want
We sit in a room for months trying to think of funny things.

Funny Things Thinking Trying
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.

I don’t get recognized much, and am very happy with that. The fans I have met have all been delightful.
