I remember when Victoria Wood started to come through, and I thought she was great, though she and I are very different in our approach.

I took my husband to the hospital yesterday to have 17 stitches out - that'll teach him to buy me a sewing kit for my birthday.

I used to get nervous about three weeks before a gig... now I've managed to condense it down to a manageable ten minutes.

I think the key attributes for a good speaker are someone that's articulate and someone that puts a fair amount of humour into what they do.

I made a supreme effort not to do that thing that parents do, which is to bore people without children to death by going on and on about how funny their children are, so there's none of that hopefully.

A good culture in a hospital can absorb and manage a few bad nurses, but once the culture becomes bad in itself, bad nursing practice is much harder to hide.

I wouldn't say I was organised at all. I just have to prioritise. Is it more important for them to be organised, or to have their dinner, do you know what I mean?
