I always carry a pair of scissors around with me to cut things out of magazines.

I never ever Google myself. That way madness lies.

When I write, I create really absurd situations which become false because I am after the joke.

The only way I'll ever run a marathon is if I'm involved in the administration.

Once you have a Down's syndrome child, you can't conform. In a way, you're free.

I'm very devoted to my kids - I'm completely blind to their faults.

I have a lot of funny friends, though not everyone's funny all the time. Doon Mackichan's my funniest friend in the pub; Nina Conti's the funniest with a monkey.
