Once Journalists Have Been Rifling

We Were The Only Black Family In An Estate With 1,000 White Families. Liverpool Being Quite Racist In The Sixties, It Was A Bit Grim Growing Up.

There Was Never Any Career Plan. When 'red Dwarf' Started I Thought We Were Doing A Curious Little Sitcom On Bbc2, I Didn't Think I Was Becoming An Actor. I Didn't See That 21 Years Later I'd Still Be Talking About It, Let Alone Filming A New One. For Me Everything's Always Been An Accident.

I Have A Stepladder. It's A Very Nice Stepladder But It's Sad That I Never Knew My Real Ladder.

Critics Called Me 'egregious' - I Had To Look That One Up - And 'creepy', But Now I Don't Read Them, I Weigh Them.

For Me, Everything Has Always Been An Accident.
