If you travel to the States... they have a lot of different words than like what we use. For instance: they say 'elevator', we say 'lift'; they say 'drapes', we say 'curtains'; they say 'president', we say 'seriously deranged git.'

I think that my ideas of the world are that it's random and cruel but kind of quite comical really, and therefore the humour, in a sense, springs from that.

I like the south of Spain, notably for the Moorish influence and the weather.

For me, the showbiz memoir is uninteresting - you want to tell people something they don't know about.

Most of the Communists I knew were nice people.

Most of my friends are women - I quite fancied being a woman in a way.

As a comic, you try something and if it works you go with it and grind it to death.
