There's still this underlying image of women that they should fulfil a certain role. It's no accident that a lot of men who are a bit misogynistic tend to say things like 'get back to the kitchen' or 'why aren't you at home looking after the kids'.

Punk allowed women to stop looking feminine. Oh, the relief.

With proper acting, I don't know what I would play - I got sent a script for a play, and it said in the notes that my proposed character was 'hideously fat and ugly'. That made my day. I mean, I do know I am no oil painting.

You know it's time for a New Year's resolution to lose weight when you step on a talking scale and it says, One at a time, please.

Who do I like? I am a big fan of French and Saunders - not that that they are particularly stand-up I have to say, but I think they have been great for women and they are of themselves just incredibly funny whether they are male or female.

I went on the pill when I was 16, put on four stone... so that proved to be a very effective contraceptive.

I suspect most politicians feel overwhelmed because people's lives are a real struggle, full of unhappiness, and you would probably feel powerless to do anything about it.

My doctor told me I should get out of breath three times a week, so I took up smoking.

My mum taught me to knit when I was a child, and I turn to it, for some weird reason, when I'm feeling depressed.

I think my comedy, the put-downs I do to hecklers, are the accumulated bitterness of years of people feeling that it's perfectly acceptable to make a comment on your appearance when they don't even know you.

When I got married, the Sun ran the headline: Here comes the bride, all fat and wide. Luckily, it was a few days after the wedding - but it was still hideous to read at a great romantic moment.

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.
