Im constantly astounded by how amazing women are. And as we go through all these different stages of life as long as you share them with others and say, Well, this is bloody weird, you can get through everything.

I know what it's like to struggle for cash. When I went to drama school, I worked as a chambermaid to make ends meet.

I'm known among my friends for saying things I probably shouldn't sometimes, but I have to get things out in the air.

I'm not a big drinking person and hardly ever have alcohol. Perhaps it's not sweet enough for my sweet tooth.

I have turned away from the thought of writing fiction in the past through what I suppose is, actually, fear. The direct, raw invitation for the reader to come in and explore my imagination is fairly scary for me so I have busied myself with so much else.

The person I have admired the most in comedy terms would be Eric Morecambe, who is my total hero.

I am not, I repeat, NOT a lesbian - even though I'd like to be one when I grow up.
