DAVID WALLIAMSI have always liked shows that have laughter in them.
DAVID WALLIAMSI’ve just swum the length of the Thames. I feel quite tired.
DAVID WALLIAMSSocial satire has been around since people have been around.
DAVID WALLIAMSThe 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.
DAVID WALLIAMSIt’s strange how sometimes you can be so happy it goes all the way round to sadness.
DAVID WALLIAMSMy favourite restaurant of all time is Mildreds on London’s Lexington Street. It’s a little vegetarian restaurant and is really fun and healthy, too. It was the first place I went to in London and really liked. That was 20 years ago, and it is still my favourite.

DAVID WALLIAMSI 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.
DAVID WALLIAMSI 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.
