I'm massively talented, and very, very beautiful in person; the public don't really realise that.

There were people asking 'Can women be funny?' People still ask that. It's like asking: 'Can women breathe in and out?'

Some people have a terrible stretch between family and work. It is a difficult thing to achieve.

We have to take risks with art. If we don't, it all becomes a bit boring

I was the little, funny one. I felt I was the child among grown women.

I'm too young at 50. I'm not grown up yet. There's part of everybody like that.

There is this idea that appealing to youth is the only way forward. But that is no longer the case. Youth is not everything. Now we have all the baby-boomers in their 60s, like me, who are actively engaged in life - we're not retiring, we're not just being put out to grass once we hit 60.
