It's lovely being a parent and being in a strong marriage with somebody who is your best friend.

I avoid any kind of organised trips as that's one of my bugbears.

It is easy for me to love myself, but for ladies to do it is another question altogether.

Some comics are in it for what they can get out of it. Others are in it for a love of comedy. I think those that are in it for a genuine love of comedy find each other within the circuit and become friends.

I am a big fan of smelly cheeses but the rest of the family don't seem to be particularly keen on them.

My agent once said, 'You're not very driven.' And it's true. I'm not the type to ring up and go, 'Get me this part!'

The cheese board is my big treat at Christmas that I have to deny myself during the rest of year.
