Quotes
ADD QUOTES-

Alan Davies: [on his attitude to the UK press] Ex-girlfriends have sold stories to the papers, my father has got upset when I've been misquoted, and it's become a real bugbear of mine.

The newspapers print phone numbers saying, 'If you know anything about a famous person, ring us and we'll destroy them for you'.

Alan Davies: [On comparing Jonathan Creek and Doctor Who]Jonathan's appearance and his individuality and his intellect make him stand out in the same way that the Doctors do, but the Doctors are altogether more confident, outgoing, sometimes brash individuals, genuinely courageous in life or death situations – that and the time travel element makes him a very different kettle of fish.
-
Alan: People say that if you're famous you give up the right to privacy. That's bull. I'm an actor. I'm not a celebrity.
