I realised that if you get yourself labeled as the funny one, people don't look any further. I've used that as I've got older. It's controlling: I decide what part of my personality you're seeing. I don't want you to look at me, I really don't. I don't want you to comment on my clothes, my hair or the way I look.

From Catherine Tate

Nothing prompts creativity like poverty, a feeling of hopelessness, and a bit of panic.

From Catherine Tate

How nice it would be to breeze through life and just brush things off. I never read reviews because I hate to lose more than I like to win; I experience negative emotions far greater than positive ones.

From Catherine Tate

That's the poisoned chalice: when you're shy, people assume you're arrogant.

From Catherine Tate

When I realised I had a facility for humour, I latched on to it, and it gave me confidence and I built my personality around it. So I subconsciously made myself become the funny one so that would be my label rather than the ginger one or the red-faced one.

From Catherine Tate

Although I was a shy child, I was also a bit flamboyant.

From Catherine Tate

By a lot of people's standards, I lived a very privileged life. I never wanted for attention, I never wanted for material things. In some ways, I was probably spoiled because I never had to share. And I was doted on.

From Catherine Tate

It's never been a point of reference to look to a man. It's not always a good thing, I suppose, but I think independence is always preferable to dependence.

From Catherine Tate

I don't like tea! Never have, never drunk it.

From Catherine Tate

Few things focus the mind like fear.
