The children break all my jewelry, so everything I wear is cheap - from Topshop or Dorothy Perkins.

I definitely used to write a lot at school. Comic poetry and drawings about people.

As a writer myself, my job has very often been to also write on the job. So you get the script and a vague idea of how the scene might work, and you then add funny words or change the script. I'm not the world's best writer or the world's best actor, but I can do that thing where I can fix - or ruin - fix-slash-ruin, add quirk, add value.

People have really strong images of what church is, and it's almost certainly not the same as mine.

The siblings of special needs children are quite special. Absolutely accepting and totally loving, from birth, someone who is different mentally, and has a different way of seeing the world, is a wonderful trait. It's a trait I wish there was another way of getting, but there isn't. And it does involve a degree of not having it fantastically easy.

If you get 10,000 guys to put their ideal woman into a computer, it still comes out looking like Angelina Jolie.

I have a lot of funny friends, though not everyone's funny all the time. Doon Mackichan's my funniest friend in the pub Nina Conti's the funniest with a monkey.

I tell people that I'm a Christian, but I don't think it's giving an insight into who I am or what I'm about.

TV feels quite constipated, and the thing I find particularly difficult is the branding of the channels where it's not 'Is it a good script?' but 'Is it a BBC2 script?'

I think everyone is forgetting what plastic surgery is for - if you have a face-eating tumour, lose a breast or are involved in a car accident, then it's a good idea.

The only way I'll ever run a marathon is if I'm involved in the administration.

A Local Government Stationery Store is something to behold. It's like walking through the back of a cupboard into a really dull Narnia.

I'm a big fan of community, and I think independence is over-rated.

I once had a friend who did the hair for sci-fi movies, and after a particularly bad break-up I stupidly went to her salon and told her she could do anything she liked. She dyed the bottom cherry red and the top peroxide blonde.
