'Zoolander.' Yeah, I mean, I love Ben Stiller; he's just a brilliant guy. And I love Will Ferrell in it, too. His character, to me, is just insane, and he made such huge choices, and he's such a weirdo!

I'm obsessed with Nicholas Sparks. I've literally read every single book, because every time I travel, at the airport, I always buy a new Nicholas Sparks book.

I loved 'The West Wing'; it's my favourite-ever television show.

I love Stewart Lee's 'Comedy Vehicle' on BBC2. The guy is a genius.

As a younger person, I was obsessed with Ray Bradbury, and I think his stories did more to shape me as a storyteller than anybody else - even though, when I read them now, a lot of them seem overly sentimental. But that's probably the writer that I've thought about the most, even though I don't necessarily like a lot of his work.

I'm a huge fan of David Hockney. I love the way he keeps reinventing himself.

I'm a nearly uncontrollable Geoff Dyer fan, who I think is one of the most comically brilliant writers today.
