Basically, I'm a really bad interviewer. I love meeting celebrities, but then I get a bit bored. Once you meet them you thing, 'really, what an ordinary person'. Being asked to host the BAFTA awards is a huge thrill, not to mention a lot easier than sitting in the audience pretending to be pleased for the winners. I am part man, part cyborg. You'd be surprised at the parts I've had inserted in me. Perhaps that's why I walk a little stiffly. I have no real interest. I like meeting celebrities but then my interest wanes. Occasionally, because it's an edited show, I'll throw them a bone and let them tell a long boring story... 'mmm, fascinating'. I was a failed actor but I still wanted to show off, so I ended up doing live comedy. My ambition was to stop waiting tables. That was how I measured success: finally, I was able to stop waiting tables, and I was able to pay the rent, and that was by being a stand-up comic. Not a very good stand-up comic, but good enough to make a living. My mobile rang around lunchtime one day, and it was George Michael. He wanted to come in on Friday. We were like, 'okay, if that's what you want'. And he was a very good guest. That's a real exception to the rule. The people I want are very famous and very rich, and all I can offer them is a bit of exposure on TV and a bit of cash, so it's a miracle we get any guests at all. But we have been very lucky. |
