Any people whose lives are about the way they look, whether it's fat or thin, are in a dangerous area.

There is a latent fairy in all women, but look how carefully we have to secrete her in order to be taken seriously. And fairies come in all shapes, colours, sizes and types, they don't have to be fluffy. They can be demanding and furious if hey like. They do, however, have to wear a tiara. That much is compulsory.

Theatre outings are my favourite thing to spend money on. The most influential play I saw was Bent, which starred Ian McKellen. And I loved the original performance of The Rocky Horror Show, with Richard OBrien and Tim Curry at the Royal Court, when I was about 15.

I am not, I repeat, NOT a lesbian - even though I'd like to be one when I grow up.

I've often said the most difficult things I have to say to people through humour. I can very quickly put someone in their place with it. But we all walk away unscathed because there's been some funnies around it, and I'll usually make sure that it comes back at me.

I know what it's like to struggle for cash. When I went to drama school, I worked as a chambermaid to make ends meet.
Dawn French
When I wrote 'Dear Fatty,' I realised that sitting and writing alone is an absolute joy.
Dawn French
Divorce is not easy, but if you genuinely put your kids first, that dictates the civility you should show each other. What example are you otherwise?
Dawn French
I don't read novels whilst I'm writing one I just haven't got a wide enough brain to concentrate on incoming and outgoing in the same time zone.
Dawn French
In actual life I am a grumpy old bag.
Dawn French
If I were alive in Rubens's time, I'd be celebrated as a model. Kate Moss would be used as a paint brush.
Dawn French
Young people need their own private places which mothers don't belong to, even if they want mother all around the edge of that.
Dawn French
The only time I did not know how to be, physically, was when I lost a lot of weight. That was the only time I didn't understand my body.
Dawn French
I'm not a big drinking person and hardly ever have alcohol. Perhaps it's not sweet enough for my sweet tooth.
Dawn French
Turning 50 can be difficult, sometimes dangerous, for women. The danger is in that blip that can come from the fact that you become invisible, and if you're not careful and don't embrace that, it can trip you up and you lose confidence.

I am a kid in the dressing-up box at heart.
