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

The only way to go on holiday is with your expectations at ground level. Convince yourself before you go that the weather's going to be dreadful and there will be nylon sheets. You'll then be pleasantly surprised.

I wouldn't say I was grumpy. It's more pathological - I have seismic tantrums. I get red in the face and cry at least three times a week, and I have to lie down and have a nap afterwards.

I prefer highs and lows to an even keel. Moderation is never something I've been good at.

I might be needy, competitive and desperate but it's far better than being wet.

I can eat a man, but I'm not sure of the fiber content.

My daughter has always had a strong sense of her own identity. From the day she was born her father and I were in love with and in awe of her and still are.
