A: I'd love to do another US tour. My live work keeps getting pushed back whenever a TV or film project comes along.


Q: Favourite character in The Office?
A: Gareth. I based him on a guy I went to school with. That's why he seems like an adolesecent. Kev is based on his best friend. There were two of them in my class. Imagine that.

A:Gradually. But I like cheese too much. I'm weak.


Q:How old were you when you decided that you were an atheist?
A: 8


Q:Where do you see yourself in 10 years from now?
A:In the hot seat, of course.

A: I used to consume more calories than I burned. Then I started to consume less calories than I burned. Science. :)

Q: Are you hardcore atheist or have you got an agnostic side?A: The two are not mutually exclusive. One concerns itself with belief, the other with knowledge.     We are all technically agnostic. Believers don't know but choose to believe there is a god. Atheists don't know so choose to not believe there is a god.

A:I'm not.

Q: What do you imagine Eric Hitchmo looks like?

A:I've been busy 

Q: Which Hollywood A lister that you have met do you think is the most down to earth and normal?

  2. Just started watching An Idiot Abroad and of course hilarious. Just thought of a funny situation for Karl, send him to a family home like mine, loud Italian family in America with family business drama everyday and my super naughty, spoiled kids who piss me and my husband off daily. Plus we have 5 different pets which in know Karl loves (lol ). Just think he would freak out in this type of normal but not normal for him situation like mine. All American Family. Would be so funny. And is it weird I have a strange attraction to him? Cause I think so :)

    If the world is made of subatomic vibrating particles beating helpless to an eternal ritham of past events and all of the world is purely electrons in a sporadic dance. Photons reflecting on meat deciding all beauty. If time does not exist and is merly measured on actions do I still have to go to work tomorrow.. He said yes?
