I like pubs too, but it's hard for me to go and get proper bladdered in the way I used to. I don't want to moan about being recognised but I do get a bit of grief sometimes.

Alan Davies about Humanity:

I'm not a great shopper but I do buy a lot of books. I'm the publishers' friend - I buy a hundred books a year and read four.

My favourite restaurant is the Thai Corner Cafe on St Paul's Road. We go there all the time. I shouldn't really mention it - I don't want it to be chock-a-block.

Alan Davies about Mind:

I'm quite a curious person. I don't mind being the one who doesn't know things, a role I often play in QI.

Alan Davies about Thought:

The one I remember is going into London, as it was for us in Essex, on New Year's Eve in 1981. There were four of us and we'd had a few lagers on the way. One of my mates threw up in the Tube and then stood up and fell over in it. We thought it was the funniest thing we'd ever seen.

Alan Davies about Time:

The principle that light can be in two places at the same time is absolutely extraordinary.

Alan Davies about Eye:

There's a lot to do when you're a kid - spiders to catch, girls to poke in the eye - stuff to be getting on with.

Alan Davies about Walk:

The thing I'd really like to see is the old London Bridge, with all the old buildings around it like Shakespeare's Globe. I'd like to walk along that. Don't worry, I won't get drunk and fall in.
