For me, whatever age or size I've been, I have rather liked myself. The shell is not the thing at all.

I don't know why I feel so crazy...I feel like I'm going through a stargate. Maybe it's the diet pills. Maybe it's Buddha.

Why would anyone want to be called a size zero or even aspire to being a zero? I don't even understand the thinking behind it, let alone the practicalities. What is all that about?

The only time I did not know how to be, physically, was when I lost a lot of weight. That was the only time I didn't understand my body.

Young people need their own private places which mothers don't belong to, even if they want mother all around the edge of that.

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

Writing has become my great joy - I simply love it.
