It always seemed to be a constant that my parents were political.
You can't do comedy with a beard.
Most of my friends are women - I quite fancied being a woman in a way.
It seems easier to make a career out of comedy now than it was in the 1980s.
Most of the Communists I knew were nice people.
As a comic, you try something and if it works you go with it and grind it to death.
