I start the day with the intention of doing 4,000 sit-ups but then have to work.

I once had a friend who did the hair for sci-fi movies, and after a particularly bad break-up I stupidly went to her salon and told her she could do anything she liked. She dyed the bottom cherry red and the top peroxide blonde.

I can make a virtue of slapdash. Slapdash can give you courage.

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

I would love to have been around in the Keystone Studios days.

I don't leave London, really, and I don't do theatre, because I want to put the kids to bed.

I never ever Google myself. That way madness lies.
