“People singing with their eyes closed is pretty funny.”
“Time is evolving, and we are, constantly.”
“I've spent a lot of my life trying to make one person happy. Only to discover that of course you can't make someone else content with life, not really. If they are hell bent on going back to anxiousness or misery, it's very hard for them let alone you to override that.”
“I once gave someone a self-help book for their birthday, called something like 'stop being such a lazy pig.' And you know what, they didn't even thank me!”
“Nothing stays the same. That's the beauty of life.”
“Usually, you only know a neighbour due to their proximity rather than their personality. It's 'can you take my parcel' rather than 'I think our souls are the perfect mix for friendship.'”
“As we grow older, our priorities change and people can be catalysts for that.”
“When the sun is shining, enjoy the sun; when the rain is raining, dance in the rain - you're going to get wet anyway. And if you slip and injure your back, at least you get some time to relax in hospital.”
“It's really liberating not to carry a bag. When you've got no bag, you feel so free!”
“I've washed stuff in hotel sinks. I did a show in King's Lynn. Before, I went for a walk and was like, 'what a beautiful riverbank, why aren't people getting closer to it?' I slid down it and got mud all over my dress. I had to wash and dry it with ten minutes to go.”
“Women are funny; they're really funny.”
“I don't think you can have a 'favourite song' and it winds me up when people ask. You can't have one!”
“I was once having an argument with this table of people at a Christmas gig in central London and at the end of the show, because this heckler was being such a tool, I tipped him back on his chair and sent him across the floor. I don't think either of us left with our dignity that night.”
“I did once start chatting to some strangers in a pub - that's not really done in London.”
“Surely everyone has had drama in their lives.”
“Giving up drinking was a slow and gradual thing.”
“30 Rock' is superbly funny - it's unashamedly odd, loud and cartoony. There are physical jokes, clever jokes, dumb jokes, character jokes and jokes within jokes. And, if you don't like jokes, there are lots of characters.”
“The thing is, I love people giving me advice.”
“Community is a thing we crave because most of us need to feel we belong. Even Hell's Angels get excited about wearing their matching jackets and neckerchiefs, and having a ride around together.”
“If you tell someone your secrets you don't feel so bad.”
