I think there's a danger that we're moving towards a state where the people we are expected to admire are almost not human anymore, and I don't like that. I prefer it when someone looks like a nice person, and you think, 'I could have a laugh with them in the pub.'

You look across the board at comedy quiz shows, and they are mainly hosted by men.

And I also felt that no one in an audience could abuse me worse than the sort of abuse I had had at work as a psychiatric nurse.

I thought I was funny as a kid.

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

I don't hold any candle for drama versus comedy.

They say revenge is a dish best eaten cold, but for most people, by the time it's ready to eat, they just don't fancy it any more.
