sibling thinking circles
I think my siblings sometimes have to defend me within their social circles - they are both barristers.
thinking female time-goes-by
I think as time goes by you'll get female comics who are weirder - you'll get a female Mighty Boosh.
successful thinking
I don't think I'm successful.
thinking vulgar display
I don't do marriage. I think it's incredibly naff. And I don't like vulgar displays of ostentation.
thinking issues priorities
I am not sure gender ever won't be an issue in comedy, because I think that women do have different priorities in some respects.
death might showing
I think I might actually die of showing off. It'll be on my headstone - 'Cause of Death: Showing Off.'
best viewed
I am best viewed from a distance... and at night.
good
Moderation is never something I've been good at.
abide meant smelly
I'm the least spiritual person in the world. I can't even abide a smelly candle. I know it's meant to make me relax, and that immediately makes my hackles rise.
common people
I only socialise with people that I have a lot in common with.
hate home sight
Well, I'm not good with sliminess. I hate the thought of creatures that have slime on them or creatures that leave a slimy trail. At home, the sight of a slug can bring up my breakfast.
ironing-board boards stills
I still can't set up the ironing-board. A complete Luddite.
people feelings horrible
I've got this horrible feeling that I'm one of those people who'll always have to flog their guts out to get anywhere.
skin-tone fake skins
Without fake tan I have the skin tones of a dead jellyfish.
