“In short, I'm an egotistically insecure exhibitionist.”
“Since being told as a child that I 'wouldn't live to be old,' I worry about it, I'm scared of it and I expect it at every turn. If I'm not talking, thinking or writing about it, I'm telling jokes about it. For me, death has become a way of life.”
“As a disabled person, the worst thing about having people assist you is not having people to assist you.”
“Personally for me, as an electric-wheelchair-using disabled woman, it's really interesting to be cast in things that are historical, or part of a different world.”
“I remember my school days with mixed emotions; I was so grateful to be given a mainstream education, and yet at times I felt incredibly segregated.”

“In my search for the perfect PA, I've interviewed over 300 people. Regardless of what I put in the advert, most applicants seem to have read: 'Misfits, kleptomaniacs and do-gooders need only apply.'”

“Your state of health, mental or physical, has no bearing on your dignity.”
“I can't sing.”
“I'm strictly not into dancing and I'm definitely not encouraging death. In fact, I have the opposite problem: I'm so worried about dying that I've become a little obsessed about my health. And not in a good way.”
“No one looked good in the 80s - especially me.”
“Personally, as a lover of musicals, I think we should do a musical version of 'Silent Witness!'”
“The first PA I sacked had taken a shine to my then boyfriend, another helped herself to my purse, another decided it would be amusing to put a box on my head, like a hat. As it slipped slowly down over my eyes, her fate was sealed.”
