More quotes by Jo Brand
I'm just trying to spread the word and upturn the myth that actually you should be resting after cancer treatment. You shouldn't you should be getting out and doing any kind of exercise you can. You don't have to run a marathon, but you just have to up your activity levels.

An overweight guy went to the doctor who advised him to try a keep fit DVD. But the guy said he couldn't be bothered. “Well” suggested the doctor, “try something that leaves you a little short of breath.” So the buy took up smoking.

I like the purity of stand-up because it is all about whether people laugh at your jokes. Either they laugh or they don't.

I've never been a fan of euphemism.

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.

When you get to know someone, you find there's something nasty in their woodshed.

I remember when Victoria Wood started to come through, and I thought she was great, though she and I are very different in our approach.

Everything becomes magnified at night. Sounds travel in a different way, it's dark, and everything seems far more spooky.

Some men are deeply likable but have attitudes I don't like. Does that mean I should completely dismiss them? It's like saying: if someone votes Tory can you like them? And, yes, I can. I have friends who vote Tory, and I'm appalled, but that's not to say they're not great people in so many other ways. We have a tendency to oversimplify things.

I swam at school a lot. Long-distance swimming in pools, and diving, then when we moved to Hastings when I was 13 I used to swim in the sea all the time I loved it out of season and when it was rough.

It's a video release as well so I have to be perfectly honest and go, probably not specifically for DVD, but there are extra bits on it that aren't on anything else, so as exciting as that sounds.
