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've always been criticised for how filthy my material is. Victoria Wood said to me once, 'I wish I was a bit ruder, like you,' and I said, 'Well, I wish I was a bit cleaner, like you.'

It's got too much hard work slapping them and telling them to shut up.

Once you get labelled, people expect you to behave within the very narrow confines of that label.

The comedian sticks as religiously to her theme as a dancer sticks to a diet.

I'm a Luddite with computers, and I'm slightly worried about being hacked as well.

I've no interest in fashion, shoes, handbags, or sweaty shopping.
