When I was a nurse I never had much money, and I was still happy then.

I like the purity of stand-up because it is all about whether people laugh at your jokes. Either they laugh or they don't.

I tried to eat better too, but when you're on tour you literally just eat some hideous pork pie on the motorway on the way to a show. It's a really unhealthy lifestyle: you're up late, drinking loads of coffee to stay awake, drinking loads of alcohol because you're socialising with people.

My ex-boyfriend can round last night, which was weird because I didn't know he was in a coma.

Occasionally, some sitcoms still stereotype women - the old dragon or the dolly bird - but on the whole we've moved away from that.

One of the guys that used to run it - for some reason I've no idea why he used to call me the Sea Monster and I was just looking around for a name and thought that'll do. That lasted for a couple of years probably.

I like to shock people.
