Mathew Baynton

I always had the desire to perform. If it wasn't my career now, I'd still be doing amateur dramatics. It's just something you love, and when you get paid to do it, you pinch yourself every day.

Growing up, I watched shows such as 'Blackadder' and 'Monty Python' with my parents.

I always performed as a kid to make my family laugh and was more concerned with making kids at school laugh than I was about the lessons.

I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as they get older; then it dawned on me - they're cramming for their final exam.

Exhaust the little moment. Soon it dies. And be it gash or gold it will not come Again in this identical guise.

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