Social satire has been around since people have been around.
DAVID WALLIAMSSocial satire has been around since people have been around.
DAVID WALLIAMSAll human life can be found in an airport.
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 have always liked shows that have laughter in them.
DAVID WALLIAMSI am a huge fan of ‘Doctor Who.’
DAVID WALLIAMSThere’s a sort of magic and music to comedy. Some words, some numbers even, are funnier than others. A Caramac bar, for instance, is funnier than a Milky Way.
DAVID WALLIAMSWe’ve got 12-year-old boys dressing up as transvestites.
DAVID WALLIAMSDefinitely I love women, I love being around women, I find them incredible and intoxicating, and I’ve never had that feeling I get with women with a man.
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 WALLIAMSTV has lost a lot of its self-confidence as its power has been eroded by the internet.
DAVID WALLIAMSIt 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.
DAVID WALLIAMSThere’s something about being a comedian that means you have to not be scared of failing because failing is part of the process.
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.
DAVID WALLIAMSI just want to be happy, have kids, enjoy my life, help others and create some good work.
DAVID WALLIAMSI 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.
DAVID WALLIAMSI 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.
