I have always had a need for attention but didn't plan to be a comic.

For me, being a woman suits what I want to talk about and what my audience wants to hear. Maybe I'm a dying breed.

My older sister is bossy, my brother is a stirrer and me - well, I am perfect!

I admire the Elsie Tanners and Barbara Windsors of the world: people who have crawled back from the abyss. I'm quite camp in that respect.

I am not sure gender ever won't be an issue in comedy, because I think that women do have different priorities in some respects.

Family is the one thing that is definitely not disposable.

I'm very jealous of my daughter's education. She's been inspired by her teachers, and nobody inspired me as a teenager.
