A biography for Miranda Harthasn’t been written yet.
“I am pleased to say that I am not a tortured comedian - I laugh a lot. My twenties weren't particularly happy, but it's the same for a lot of people. In your thirties, you realise that your life and your worries are really insignificant, and you have to force yourself to be more positive and take each day as a gift.”
“I want to be more physical and theatrical within the stand-up. There might be dance moments, and people better watch out - I will gallop.”
“My greatest crush was Chandler from 'Friends.' And Goran Ivanisevic.”
“When my sitcom 'Miranda' first became successful, I was so in the thick of working and I was so stressed that I didn't really enjoy the moment. You suddenly look back and go, 'Gosh, you've just got to enjoy every day.' And now I wake up and literally pinch myself every day.”
“I own nothing of value at all. I spend money on experiences.”
“In my head, I have the most sensational singing voice. I perform concerts to thousands in the shower. The reality is I can hold a tune. The dream is a West End musical one day - no, really!”
“Pessimism is my default setting.”
“I am pleased to say that as I get older, I get less and less like the sitcom 'Miranda.' She is really a clown character, a heightened version of the 20-something me.”
“I only really and truly fully relax on my own. Give me a sun lounger, a pool and a sea view, and I'm happy.”
“It's on the bucket list for sure to do a comedy film, even if it was just one line on the lot.”
“I see myself as a comedian rather than a female comedian. I happen to be a woman, but I am a comedian by trade.”
“I started watching some 'Doctor Who' recently on my own and got too scared. I had to watch it in the daytime - I'm pathetic.”
“Writing humour certainly involves pain. A sitcom is 6 months of writing pain!”
“I do love to cry. I'll cry at the drop of a hat. I'll cry at your basic television programme, let alone a weepie. But not big, heavy, serious crying. I haven't done that for a while, which is a relief. More like a little welling up of joy.”
“I'm very much in denial that I can't dance. I really go for it, which is almost more embarrassing.”
