I buy DVDs. I don't really buy CDs unless they're for other people.
— Martin Freeman
I love home. I'd rather be at home than anywhere else.
Comedy can't be about continuous success.
Acting is the only thing I'm even vaguely good at and acting is something that I think I do know about.
I've always got my eye on my deathbed.
I've never been to a festival. I'm a creature of habit, mashed-potato comfort, I like rugs. Our sofa's squishy. Maybe too squishy - it's hard to get up sometimes.
I was probably cool around the end of 2002.
I like bootcut jeans in a plain style with a nice line.
I love that pre-mod jazz look of the late Fifties, the Steve McQueen style that influenced the British modernists.
You could say I'm a mod, but with a small 'm'; I don't wear a parka, but I do question what I wear and what I listen to, which is what it's all about.
I'm one of the few people I know who believes in God.
People misunderstand me.
Why does everyone have to pretend to be stupid and not know long words?
I like out, I like the outside world.
I look like the man in the moon.
There is nothing far-fetched about disappointment as a subject for comedy. It's something we are all too familiar with.
There are still things technically about films that I think are a mystery to me and I want to remain a mystery. I don't particularly want to know what everyone's job is because I've got lines to learn.
In London we give ourselves a pat on the back, rightly, for not killing one another, for our prejudice being subtle rather than lethal.
My mum was Labour-voting, but wanted us to know we were important. Basically, everyone's equal, but you, my children, are a bit better.
When I wear jeans I want to look like a man, not a child.
I can spot someone with similar fashion sense to me a mile off.
Being a mod is more of a sensibility than a style.
Name anything - high-definition TV, computer obsolescence - and I'm pretty much annoyed by it.
This isn't meant to make me sound interesting and rock 'n' roll, but I wouldn't want to live with me a lot of the time.
Most people have a passive relationship with music and clothes, with culture. But music was my first contact with anything creative. Music is it, as far as I'm concerned.
I've always loved Christmas and that's not really gone away from me from being a child to now. It's always a magical time and I'm unashamed in my love for Christmas.
Disappointment is an endless wellspring of comedy inspiration.
I've got no anti-America or anti-Hollywood kick, it's just that I never wanted to go and kick my heels around L.A. for six months hoping something would happen.
I've got an overly developed sense of what selling out is, and I of course worry about it too much.
I don't think it was a surprise that I ended up as an actor, and it was anything but a disappointment.
I'm not posh or common, I'm in between.
I love a good suit.
I only really watch my own films, I don't watch any other films and I don't particularly like any other actors.
Most actors are either a shower of bloody scruffs or think they should dress like Hamlet off stage.
I would wear a full-length cape if I could get away with it - I do love a good swirl in a fog.
I have a very extreme state of mind. Things are very black or very white.
I've got a stag weekend coming up and I've said I'm not doing anything more than a few drinks. I won't have it. I'll go home and watch Antiques Roadshow.
