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.

I know there are certain men that hate women or don't like women, and in order to make women feel small, they tend to isolate them when they bully them. And women are often humiliated by it and feel they can't do anything about it. So my advice to women would be: there's always support around for those sorts of things and if you feel you're isolated in any way, or being bullied, you must talk to someone about it.

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.

Managers of hospitals, over the years have been increasingly recruited from outside the health service and although their experience of running a supermarket chain might allow them to balance the books, it does not mean they have any insight into how a ward should be managed and patients best served.

I think self-esteem is fluid. It's not a fixed state, and so some days are better than others.

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.

British ferries have stopped transporting live animals to the Continent. This has made it very difficult for England fans to get to Away matches.
