Ricky Gervais

So like anyone else in every generation, I think it was- Yeah, I found it fascinating because I was pursuing the same thing and I also then went into comedy. Well, OK, so it started at college and we did a demo tape and we got signed and we did two singles and then we were dropped. And it was like it started and finished within a year. And that was it.

It would have certainly been, you know, we started with the sort of the hair and makeup and synth pop. But this is the mistake I made.

So people didn't think that I just wanted to be on telly, because I didn't. And I came to it very wary. I came to this very, very wary. Not because of the music thing, but because of, I think, the press in England. And I never revere fame. I've never asked for an autograph. I've never been impressed by seeing a famous...
