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

A Local Government Stationery Store is something to behold. It's like walking through the back of a cupboard into a really dull Narnia.

Comedians have to write to survive because you don't get cast for your beauty.

When I'm depressed, I definitely comfort eat, but I also eat when I'm happy. The only time I don't eat is if I am terribly nervous.

I've got spider veins all over my legs, so I wear opaque tights all winter. All sorts of colours.

What having a Down's syndrome child isn't - and I feel very strongly about this - is a tragedy. All those pregnancy books you read when you are expecting refer to Down's syndrome as if it were the worst possible outcome, and it's not.

When I got pregnant with my first child I gained nearly 5st. I did a bit of pretending: "I'm just really small, so I just put on a lot of weight when I'm pregnant." That is true, but I also ate a lot of cake.
