You get crushes on people. You have to see them every day in that week. They're a fantastic person, and it could be a man or a woman.

At home, I relax by gardening, or just pottering.

Well, I'm lucky because, you see, I'll probably bounce back from this role.

The weird thing about all the drag queen Patsys and Eddies from "Absolutely Fabulous" is they are so beautiful, and so tall, and so slim that it sort of puts us to shame.

The reason they keep it so tight is that no one liked them, so that without each other, actually, they couldn't exist. They support each other. They support their flaws and everything else.

I think TV companies don't take as many risks any more, it's a bit more prescriptive. There are more channels but there seems to be actually less main network channel comedy. You can't offend people as easily, people take things very seriously now. I think that's down to social media though because people can have little tribes of offence.

I can remember the first face-lift show that came on. I rang up everyone - are you watching? I'm watching.
