I hate flying, airports and the whole rigmarole - queuing up, security and lost luggage.

I used to be good with kids, but as I get older, I'm grumpy and terrible with them. As for doing a gig at a 6-year old's birthday party, you couldn't pay me enough.

You can't be a proper comic unless you've been out on stage and felt the fear.

There have been times I've finished a big job and thought, 'Great, a couple of weeks off.' But then a couple of weeks turns to three weeks and then after a month you're staring at the phone willing it to ring.

You know, there's that temptation in interviews to make yourself sound - well, to give yourself a bit of mystery.

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

When I wasn't as attractive as I am now, I suffered at the hands of cruel children and their taunts until I realised that confidence and a bit of aesthetic care can overcome that.
