“A quick trip to Paris would be nice. It's a beautiful city, and I've visited several times. I like the buzz, the sights and restaurants.”

“I like my iPad very much. I like to browse online shops and keep up to date with the world, so I carry it with me a lot.”

“I am grateful for any following and am always surprised by it!”

“Do I ever really lose my temper? Goodness me, no. Not at home or at work. There's no point in getting in a tizz over anything. Life's too short.”

“I've always said one of the reasons I've worked for so long is that I'm no trouble.”

“The BBC say we need more working-class comedies, which is rubbish. We need funny comedies; it doesn't matter where they come from.”

“I've always slept pretty well and aim to get eight hours a night. I try to be in bed by midnight at the very latest. Occasionally I'll have an afternoon siesta if I'm going out in the evening.”

“I was always given the comedy role, even in the ballet. I was the one who fell off her points, you know? I love doing comedy, and I love being in things that make people laugh.”

“The three ages of man: youth, middle age and 'my word you do look well'.”

“For me, old age is just something that happens.”

“If you're the star of a show, the next one has to be as good or better, and if you're doing a series, if anything goes wrong, it's your fault. There's nobody else to blame.”

“In terms of work, I'm doing exactly the same as I've always done. It's what's around me that's changed.”

“I have been lucky enough to work in all kinds of comedy. I prefer working with other people. I could never do stand-up.”
