I think if you're at the point where you're popular enough to sell your wedding photos to OK! Magazine then you don't need the money. -Johnny Vegas Wedding
It is easy for me to love myself, but for ladies to do it is another question altogether. -Johnny Vegas Funny
The cheese board is my big treat at Christmas that I have to deny myself during the rest of year. -Johnny Vegas Christmas
