I've never trained as an actor. I've always thought I'm not a good actor. I've been told I'm not a good actor by a lot of people.
From Jo Brand
I think actors go along a continuum from Simon Callow down to kind of Ross Kemp, and I like to think of myself as the Ross Kemp of comedy. He's very good in 'East Enders' because he plays a version of himself. I think I can play a version of myself - that's about all I can do.
Having children is fab. They keep me young and make me get up in the morning.
It wasn't a conscious effort to have kids later. It was just the way life goes.
My preference is swimming in the sea. I find the sea is more liberating, wild and good fun rather than plodding up and down a pool.
Men are fantastic - as a concept.
I used to get nervous about three weeks before a gig... now I've managed to condense it down to a manageable ten minutes.
I tend to think the world is a bit of a miserable place, so anyone who can add to people's optimistic, cheerful side is doing a good job, which is what I hope I'm doing.
I used to do bell ringing in Benenden church. It was really good fun, actually. My best friend's dad was the local vicar, and so it was expected as her best friend that I would go to church every Sunday with her.
School was great. There were no boys there, which didn't really bother me at the time because I had two brothers, so I was quite pleased not to spend any more time with boys.
