It's like another scar in you.
But what I think now of all the things I've been through, I like to think it's made me a nicer person.
I like to think I have more empathy, that I'm a kinder person, that I understand a bit more about difference and what that feels like, which I might not have done had I not been through the things I've been through.
So take the scars, but use them for good purpose.
Well, you say I sit in comfortably, so here's the joke of it.
So I took over from Stephen Fry, who's absurdly tall, and I'm absurdly small.
And for the first two years, they wouldn't give me my own chair.
So I sat in Stephen's chair for two years with my legs dangling.
And in the end, I said to him, guys, I'm not doing it again unless I get my own chair.
It's enough now with Stephen's chair.
Please could I have, now I have my own chair and it's adjustable and I spend time racing around out of camera shot on my chair that's got wheels and it makes me very happy.
My sign of success is that I've got my own chair.
