“My life has been, I suppose, the most incredible series of highs and lows.” — Craig Charles

What's amazing is that I'm recognized all over the world through 'Red Dwarf.' British fans are exceptional, but the American fans are something else. Some of them fly 500 miles to stand in line for three hours, just to meet me, then when they do they collapse. It makes you feel like a rock star!

Coming from having absolutely nothing to having a few grand in the bank, it was a big culture leap. I think that's why I went off the rails a bit really, 'cause there was no training for it. They didn't do fame in schools.

Critics called me 'egregious' - I had to look that one up - and 'creepy', but now I don't read them, I weigh them.

For me, everything has always been an accident.
