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

I don't get star-struck at all.

If you get 10,000 guys to put their ideal woman into a computer, it still comes out looking like Angelina Jolie.

Bad impulse buys make you feel grim, don't they? It's like having consumer Tourette's. I gravitate towards austere foreign-language film DVDs when insecure.

I think everyone is forgetting what plastic surgery is for - if you have a face-eating tumour, lose a breast or are involved in a car accident, then it's a good idea.

The siblings of special needs children are quite special. Absolutely accepting and totally loving, from birth, someone who is different mentally, and has a different way of seeing the world, is a wonderful trait. It's a trait I wish there was another way of getting, but there isn't. And it does involve a degree of not having it fantastically easy.

I definitely used to write a lot at school. Comic poetry and drawings about people.
