Quotes by Matt Lucas

I finally learned to love myself by dressing up as Geri Halliwell.

I loved all the camp comics of my childhood, Kenneth Williams and Frankie Howerd and John Inman, but school gave me a very bad feeling about being gay and then, when I was about 12 - bang, along came AIDS. I can't think of a single positive thing about being gay at that time.

I mean comedy is something that's very personal and people have strong opinions about.

I was hoping that the appeal of the show would stretch beyond the anglophile and comedy-obsessed.

I'm a very recent convert to the gay scene. I went to a party a couple of years ago and met a very nice man who took me under his wing and started taking me out to clubs. It was a revelation.

We've found that our lives are beginning to change, that the press, for instance, has taken an interest in us and our lives.

When I left school I was full of angst, like any teenager, and I channeled it all into comedy.

The most useful form of time travel would be to go back a year or two and rectify the mistakes we made.
