James Corden recently sat down for an interview with Rolling Stone. Here's what he had to say:
On his weight:
"If you're big at school, you've really got two choices. You're going to be a target. If you go to school and you're me, you go, Right, I'm just going to make myself a bigger target. My confidence, it will terrify them.' That's how I felt in school. Inside, you're terrified. But if you're a bit funny, if you're quicker than them, they won't circle back on you again."
On Romantic Comedies:
"I could never understand when I watch romantic comedies, the notion that for some reason unattractive or heavy people don't fall in love. If they do, it's in some odd, kooky, roundabout way — and it's not. It's exactly the same. I met my wife; she barely owned a television and worked for Save the Children. We sat down one night and we fell in love and that was it."
On breaking into Hollywood:
"I would have meetings where people would tell me how much they would like to work with me and then nothing happened. The first times I came to Los Angeles, I would just drive around dying from encouragement...The thing is, most people here don't know I've put in my 10,000 hours."
On missing the landmarks in London:
"It's the architecture. Here they have the Hollywood sign, and they don't even light it up at night. That's insane. Is it the neighbors? It's like not lighting up Big Ben."
