I think of myself as naturally idle. The trouble is, the 'nothing' that I do every day is not really nothing. I potter. I muck about with emails, I make coffee, I fiddle with my computer to make sure that the book I haven't started writing is perfectly synced across all platforms and devices.
Labour is at its best when it remembers its moral fury.
My mother died when I was 17, and I moved in with my dad to make a 12-month pig's ear of retaking my A-levels.
I was the youngest of three brothers by five years, so I spent most of my childhood playing alone, being Zorro or some other superhero, doing Lego, watching telly and riding my bike.
My childhood was as heavily gendered as any you would find in a working-class household in Lincolnshire.
My parents' marriage was already shaky when I came along. They split up when I was five, and I didn't see Dad all that often after that - four or five times a year.
The only thing I've cooked while entertaining is stir-fry.
I was in the play 'Fat Pig in the West End,' which is a comedy but has dramatic moments.
I'm a huge, huge fan of Chris Morris. I think he's a genius, and it is not a word I use very often. I think he's fantastic.
I hate it when people use the word 'sorry' aggressively, as in, 'Sorry, but I hate you.' Sorry's an important word, and it shouldn't be abused.
I'd kill to be 'Doctor Who.' Maybe they could make the Doctor two people? He has got two hearts, after all.
I don't do much to keep in trim - I try to walk places instead of driving whenever I can, but I really ought to do more.
I don't do much lying in real life because I don't get away with it.
I did 'The Frank Skinner Show,' and they gave me a little jukebox-shaped CD player, which looks nice in the kitchen.
