I think as time goes by you'll get female comics who are weirder - you'll get a female Mighty Boosh.

I have a very solo career. I only write with people that I really adore.

I admire the Elsie Tanners and Barbara Windsors of the world: people who have crawled back from the abyss. I'm quite camp in that respect.

There should be more booing in shops and restaurants and places like that when when the service is bad. If you've had a poor breakfast in a hotel, you should put your knife and fork down and boo.

By the way, I'm funniest when I'm not being funny. I'm better to laugh at than with, pretty much.

I think there's nothing better than a comedy that also is not afraid to have those heartfelt moments.

Life is dramatic and comedic at times. Sometimes in the most dramatic situations, there is comedy. And good comedy comes from a sense of reality.

There is no defense against adverse fortune which is so effectual as an habitual sense of humor.
