David Walliams Quotes

When I was a child I devoured every book I could get my hands on. I loved losing myself in colourful and dramatic stories - and my absolute favourite was ‘Charlie And The Chocolate Factory.’ Everything about it electrified me, and when I re-read Roald Dahl’s books as an adult it surprised me Picture Quote #1

I know some of my parents’ friends think ‘Little Britain’ is in incredibly poor taste. But swimming the Channel? You can’t really say anything negative about that, can you? there’s nothing better than making your parents happy. The glee on my father’s face that day was amazing Picture Quote #1

I have a pathological fear of being on my own. When I’m with my own thoughts, I start to unravel myself, and I start to think really dark thoughts, self-destructive thoughts Picture Quote #1

I don’t have a fear factor. Well, not much of one. and I’m willing to risk quite a lot - as a comedian, you’re always risking a lot. You’re risking failure, especially if you’re improvising and going on TV shows trying to make comedy out of thin air. That is quite a risky business Picture Quote #1

I know somebody from university who’s called Phil Collins and I think there’s something terribly unfortunate about sharing a name With somebody who either is famous or becomes famous Picture Quote #1

I love wearing drag Picture Quote #1

I still enjoy my life, and I feel like I’ve achieved enough things that if I never did anything again, I’d feel confident that I’d still have made my mark in some way. But maybe the self-loathing bit is the element that makes you strive for more. Makes you strive to be better Picture Quote #1

I was depressed as a child. I found it hard to make friends. My favourite thing was locking myself in the bathroom and practising comedy routines Picture Quote #1

I’m not a political thinker, but I’ve just always thought of myself as a Labour supporter. I was a great fan of Tony Blair. He sent me a letter before I swam the Channel to wish me luck Picture Quote #1

It was impossible to sleep. Anxiety stopped me from falling asleep; depression woke me up Picture Quote #1

I’m terribly attention-seeking. It’s very different once you get all this attention, though. Because then you want to control it. And you can’t exactly Picture Quote #1

I’ve noticed that once you leave London you do kind of become a bit more famous. People in London are a bit too cool for school. It’s not so unusual to see someone from London in the street. But outside of London people are a bit more excited to see you and come out and support you Picture Quote #1

It’s important when you’re married not to forget those things you used to do when you were trying to get her to marry you. You can’t send flowers and buy gifts then, when you’re married, say, ‘Right, get my tea on’. That doesn’t go down well. So you’ve got to keep that level of interest going Picture Quote #1

My favourite restaurant of all time is Mildreds on London’s Lexington Street. It’s a little vegetarian restaurant and is really fun and healthy, too. It was the first place I went to in London and really liked. That was 20 years ago, and it is still my favourite Picture Quote #1

There’s a sort of magic and music to comedy. Some words, some numbers even, are funnier than others. A Caramac bar, for instance, is funnier than a Milky Way Picture Quote #1

When you are doing endurance swimming you just need to take in as many carbs as possible to put on as much weight as you can. Basically you can eat whatever you want, which can be quite fun. Everything is guilt-free Picture Quote #1

Children’s books are often seen as the poor relation of literature. But children are just as demanding as adult readers, if not more so. I should know. I’m a children’s writer myself Picture Quote #1

I don’t have a lot to share with other men. My heart sinks when I get into a taxi and someone starts talking to me about football Picture Quote #1

All you can do in this life is follow your dreams. Otherwise you’re just wasting your time Picture Quote #1

I was quite fat as a kid. And swimming is a sport you can enjoy whatever size you are. If you’re fat, running is a pain. I’m not really built for running Picture Quote #1

I haven’t put much effort into my personal life and blithely believe it will turn out all right in the end Picture Quote #1

I love telling stories. I love the intimacy between the writer and reader. When you write sketches it’s over in two minutes. When you write a book the characters have to have a bit of emotional depth Picture Quote #1

No more watching that show Small England or whatever it’s called where those two idiots dress up as ‘laydees’. It’s a bad influence Picture Quote #1

People think writing a children’s book is something you could do in an afternoon but it’s actually really hard Picture Quote #1
