“Phoebe Waller-Bridge has an insane grasp of the human condition.”
“There are things about 'The Afterparty' that are universal.”
“I used to get so tense at school that my pencils would break on the page. I'd get very, very worried about stuff. And I'm tall and heavy and bassy, so to friends and onlookers my worrying isn't sweet and endearing, it's intense and daunting.”
“That was life-changing for me. 'Fleabag' was huge on both sides of the Atlantic.”
“I've always said that I don't necessarily feel stereotypically Greek.”
“Deep down I think I'm operating on a lower level than most people, based on my education, shoulder chip, blah, blah.”
“I'm so pleased, at the age of 34, that I still haven't spent one millisecond missing high school.”
“I'm drawn to people who don't know who they are, because I just think that's where comedy lives, in someone with an incorrect perception of themselves.”
“People being effusive about incredibly bland food makes me die with laughter.”
“If you were to say, 'We're off to do something really cool,' I'd be like, 'Whatever that is, I probably won't be very good at it.'”
“I learned from doing live shows that I could use physicality to bandage moments that weren't working very well.”
“A big part of my schtick in my live comedy is doing earnest R&B ballads.”
“I have been defined by my disinterest in football my whole life.”
“Stath is an imbecile. I hope the only thing I have in common with him is a love of Euro RnB.”
“I heard a song once that said: 'You say it best when you say nothing at all.' It taught me that whenever you're on a date, you should play that song all the time, because people love incredible songs.”
“Stath will definitely love his child. But he will also definitely be a horrendous father.”
“I grew up in London, so my nurture was very western, but my dad's Cypriot and there are three areas where my Mediterranean heritage comes to the fore: my broodiness, my taste palate and my love of deep Euro r'n'b cuts.”
“I always think that you're better off learning your lessons in the dark, so that when the light turns on and people can see you, you're prepped.”
“My focus is exclusively on making something that feels funny.”
