“Having an enthusiasm to move doesn't necessarily mean that the Lord has blessed you with the feet to do so.”

“I tried to pull off a pair of thigh-high suede boots once, but my legs just looked like two big trouts wrapped up.”

“I have a simple, simple brain.”

“I used to be a nanny and the kids used to laugh at me when I'd say 'Shall we paint something?' They just wanted to go on their iPads.”

“We are trying to shine a light on the infantilisation of women in the music industry. It's in the fashion and media industries too - this idea that women are more attractive if they look like little girls.”

“It's embarrassing to say you want to be a comedian. Admitting that you want attention and you think you're such a laugh.”

“I've always wanted to try presenting and see what it was like, and you know, it could be a huge mistake.”

“Everyone who does comedy at my level thinks the same thing: 'What am I doing with my life?'”

“We had such a strange upbringing with such eccentric parents and so we were often put in situations where finding what was funny was a survival thing.”

“We still have a long way to go in such a misogynistic industry. But the discussions that we are having on social media and in politics, about the equal representation of women, which wasn't happening when I started out, is definitely changing things.”

“You just get satisfaction from achieving something that you just don't get in any other way than from being creative.”

“What's not to aspire to about how to grow your own fruit and vegetables and plants, and then being creative?”

“I think being creative and making something that you can look at is so good for your brain and your soul. Nothing beats it.”

“Often it's seen as empowering if you're cleverer than the men, or more aware - then you're giving the woman a great strong role. And that's true to an extent. But when it's a comedy, you want to be as mad and silly and funny as the men.”

“If anyone pays me a compliment, I'll do almost anything.”

“Turns out tomato feed is the gift that keeps on giving. It's good for any plant.”

“I suffer from IBS so I'm severely constipated at all times.”

“Obviously getting to work with me is a huge pull, I know there's a lot of big A-listers out there desperate to get screentime with me.”

“I think trying to be hot is the antithesis of trying to be funny. If you're aware of what you look like, or you're trying to... you can't be truly funny.”

“It's very rare to be able to do a show where the most important thing is being funny.”
