I can't turn on the television without seeing me or open the newspaper without seeing me and honestly I'm sick to death of me.

I was very sad to hear of the death of Ronnie Barker who was such a warm friendly and encouraging presence to have when I started in television. He was also a great comic actor to learn from.

I ain't scared to do another dating show but I ain't really trying to. I want to do a talk show or something. I've done enough dating on television. I'm ready to spread my wings and go down other avenues.

I wasn't aware of my dad being an actor when I was young. I remember there was an Australian children's entertainer on television called Ralph Harris and when I'd say my father was an actor kids would say you know 'oh is he Ralph Harris?' And I had to say no and then they would lose interest.

I'm afraid that this is me getting on my high horse now but we have yob television yob newspapers and funny enough whereas it was my mum and dad school police church who used to set the standards now it's tabloids and yob television who set the standards by which people live.

I grew up in the world of bad television on my dad's sets and then as a young schmuck on dating shows and so on.

I mean my dad's a television producer and I knew I could get a job as an assistant or a reader with one of his friends but it wasn't exactly what I wanted to do.

I want my kids to see me as Dad for God's sake not a television personality.

Film and television are just different. Film is cool because it's a complete package. You know the beginning middle and end. You can plan it out more which I like. But with television you get a new script every week so it's constantly a mystery as to what you're going to be doing.

Internet mailing lists are like Fox television shows. They have really cool previews and they get you all excited about them but they just don't live up to their promises.
