David Walliams

Reality always outstrips fiction. Whatever you make up, something more incredible always pops up in real life.

I don't know what I'll be like when I'm 60. I already have the traits of a retired gentleman.

Sometimes you meet people who can't swim. And I always think: 'Oh my God, that's extraordinary.' For me, it's always been a treat... I just feel really happy in the water.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.

My feeling for reality TV isn't ironic, guilty, or apologetic. Reality TV is one of the few remaining modes of popular entertainment in which characterization is permitted as plot.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.
