I know the new comedy god is surrealism, but it doesn't touch my heart.

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.

I'm a schizophrenic mix of wannabe glamourpuss and absolute slob, and my style is very much magistrate-meets-barmaid.

What has happened to the good old-fashioned travel agent? I want to go to a really posh travel agent and have them organize everything for me. I don't want to do things on the Internet.

I think my siblings sometimes have to defend me within their social circles - they are both barristers.

I've got this horrible feeling that I'm one of those people who'll always have to flog their guts out to get anywhere.

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.
