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.

I've never, ever had people being aggressive to me in public or abusing me, and actually quite a lot of men do say to me, 'You're quite good' - though they can't bear to go, 'You're great.'
Jo Brand

I think it's really important to be kind, especially to people whose lives are grim - I try hard to cheer people up in as many ways as I can - if all else fails - I tell 'em a joke!
Jo Brand

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.

Let's face it: I am not a professional runner.

On the whole, you can have a private life and be famous. But when milestones happen in your life like having children or getting married, privacy goes out of the window.

The funny thing is, I don't actually think of myself as fat at all. I don't think I am. Not really.

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

Even when I wasn't overweight I was never one of those girls or women who wanted to look nice. I always thought it wasn't important.

I like men. They are hugely entertaining, but they have a lot of shortcomings and you just have to bear those in mind.

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.
