• [on dopplegangers] How would I know which one I was?
• People think that I’m an actor called Graham. I wish I was.
• [on whether his personality is real] Yeah, it’s me. But I think what doesn’t help is the title that Ricky came up with. You know, the fact that it’s called An Idiot Abroad (2010) is annoying, ’cause people on the street, they’ll sort of go, “Oh, it’s the idiot!” Which isn’t great. That isn’t a dream come true. I never wanted that. But it’s just because that’s the name of the group. Like, if people see Ricky…or, like, before he was more known, it’d be like if they said, “Oh, look, it’s the bloke from The Office (2001).” They’re just going with the name that they know. It’s just annoying that I have to be in a program with “idiot” in the title, so they go, “There’s the idiot!”
• [on whether his personality is real] People ask that about An Idiot Abroad (2010). They go, “Are you really like that?” And I am. But they’ve got to remember is that it’s an edited program, innit? So I’m away for nine days, and probably… I don’t know how many hours of film that is, but at the end of the day, it’s edited down to, like, 45 minutes or something. So there’s times when I watch it back and I think, “God…” But then I think about it, and I go, “Well, that’s 45 minutes out of hours and hours.” I’m pretty sure if I walked around with you and filmed you, and then somebody edited it down, I could either make you look like Stephen Hawking or make you look like… me.
