“Honestly, I was just happy to get the work. I was chuffed to bits. I know David Furnish and Elton John a bit and I remember David talking very excitedly about it. This was going back four or five years even, when we were doing Little Britain at the Hammersmith Apollo. I'd lost my voice that night, but still did the show. I remember thinking: "God, they're going to think that's my voice and I'm not going to get in the film!" But it's just been a pleasure to be a part of.” ThinkingKnowsYearsLittlesStillsShowsRememberFilmNightLostBitsVoicePleasureTalkingFiveFourHonestlyFive YearsBritainApolloThinking GodLittle Britain Author:Matt Lucas
“But we did see the process develop. I remember going to the Rocket Pictures base and they had something like 40 people there, drawing. They didn't know what the characters looked like yet and I remember on the walls seeing 30 or 40 different versions of Juliet. So, it was then that I realised that someone's got to come in and make some really executive decisions.” PeopleKnowsDifferentCharacterRememberProcessDecisionSeeingWallDrawingVersionsExecutivesRocketsRealisedJuliet Author:Matt Lucas
“I played Thersites and I remember we were also doing some places out of town before starting our run at The Old Vic in London and we were at the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre in Guildford and I walked on stage and I've got an opening speech that begins: "Agamemnon, how if he had boils?" And I went on and said: "Agamemnon..." And a woman in the front row just went 'tut'. I thought: "I've only done four syllables, give us a chance!" I got one word out and the audience were already tutting. It was worse than any heckle I ever had doing comedy. So, I'll stick to gnomes.” IfsGivingSaidDoneRunningRememberChanceAudienceComedyFourStageFrontsSpeechTownsSticksStartingLondonTheatreOpeningOne WordSyllablesGnomeAgamemnonGive Us A Chance Author:Matt Lucas
