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

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

A lot of things in 'Parents' I find very truthful.

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.

Its quite confusing being one of the less wealthy people at a posh place.

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

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