I’ve always been a big consumer of American journalism over the years and had an interest in the history of it and of the press in America; how it has changed.

I do not walk around imaging myself to be intimidating or smart.

I'm not drunk onstage, although I've done that a couple of times when I was younger. It's partly just the way I talk - I talk like somebody in a rocking chair. I'm your 150-year-old grandmother.

We are both drawn to surreal situations so the writing was a joy.

Why do I even dare to think I could dream I could imagine I could hope?!

Fruit... it's just God showing off. "Look at all the colours I know!"

If you're a comic, you don't have a rehearsal room; you rehearse on stage. My main concern is remembering everything. I've written lots of material, but how do you memorise 90 minutes? That's one hell of a long speech. I've always had problems with that.
