I have a fear of poverty in old age. I have this vision of myself living in a skip and eating cat food. It's because I'm freelance, and I've never had a proper job. I don't have a pension, and my savings are dwindling. I always thought someone would just come along and look after me.

I still can't set up the ironing-board. A complete Luddite.

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

I think as time goes by you'll get female comics who are weirder - you'll get a female Mighty Boosh.
