I was in a TV show called 'Orrible' with Johnny Vaughan, I did the last series of 'Teachers', I did two or three different characters on 'The Bill'. Just stuff like that. The 'Inbetweeners' was the first thing that really took off.
I was fitting kitchens before I could afford not to - so I was still fitting kitchens whilst the first series of The Inbetweeners was coming out.
I'm not built to be famous, I'm not a star. I'm not special, so being stared at makes me very anxious.
The worst thing is when people criticise you and you go, 'Yeah, you're right.' It's really hard to take.

People take secret pictures of me... it fries my brain. I'm just a bloke, Just come and talk to me, I'd love to talk to you.

My wife's a really keen baker, and her mother is also a really keen baker, so they were giving me a little hand over the weekend, and giving me tips, things like that.
I was in a position where I was going to wait for the 'Inbetweeners' film to come out before I decided what I was going to do next, but as soon I was asked to be involved with 'Comic Strip', I was incredibly flattered and jumped at it.
That was very much a possibility with doing the movie for 'The Inbetweeners'. We didn't know if it was going to work or if people were going to like it.
If something's fun and you'll enjoy doing it, there's no reason why you shouldn't. That's basically the criteria that I judge jobs by.
I would rather watch 'Blackadder' thousands of times. I'm sure there are people who probably watch 'The Inbetweeners' that much.
