Having children is fab. They keep me young and make me get up in the morning.

I'm not a flag waver for obesity. It's not healthy, and you have a crap life because there is such a downer on it.

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.

Anything is good if it's made of chocolate.

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.'

I have a utilitarian approach to dressing; as long as I quite like it and it covers me up, I don't care what it is.

If you're a fat person - and especially if you're a woman - at all stages of your life you'll get abuse for it, so you have to work out a way of dealing with it. The best way is to be humorous about it - that defuses any tension.
