I tend to think the world is a bit of a miserable place, so anyone who can add to people's optimistic, cheerful side is doing a good job, which is what I hope I'm doing.

When I was at school you got an overall general education, on many things, even just basic facts.

I'm a terrible sort of non-fussy eater, really. I don't like posh food very much, and the more ingredients something's got in it, the less I tend to like it.

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.

My dad's a very sensitive man, but as the archetypal rebellious teenager, I didn't realise that.

It wasn't a conscious effort to have kids later. It was just the way life goes.

I don't like doing stand-up, because I don't like standing up.
