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

I can honestly say I've never sold any arms to a repressive foreign regime while reassuring everyone at home that the weapons will be used for nice things.

I never ever take into consideration the consequences of my actions until it's too late.

Men are fantastic - as a concept.

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 think the key attributes for a good speaker are someone that's articulate and someone that puts a fair amount of humour into what they do.

I swam at school a lot. Long-distance swimming in pools, and diving, then when we moved to Hastings when I was 13 I used to swim in the sea all the time; I loved it out of season and when it was rough.
