You Look Across The Board At Comedy

Not Many Women Will Go Out On A Limb To Make Themselves Really Unattractive And Unfeminine So You Can Get The Laughs, But It's A Great Thing To Do In My Book.

There's A General Sense That Women Are More Relaxed And Less Defensive In Comedy Than They Used To Be. I Think It's Easier Than It Was But Underlying It All There Is Still A Pretty Sexist View Of Women On Stage, Which To Me Hasn't Changed That Much.

It's Inevitable That If You Do Okay On Something Like That You Don't Just Annoy People, That It Will Make A Difference Because It Seemed Like Such A Lot Of People So, Yes I Would Have To Say That It Has Done.

I Tend To Think The World Is A Bit Of A Miserable Place, So Anyone Who Can Add To People's Optimistic, Cheerful Side Is Doing A Good Job, Which Is What I Hope I'm Doing.

I Think Actors Go Along A Continuum From Simon Callow Down To Kind Of Ross Kemp, And I Like To Think Of Myself As The Ross Kemp Of Comedy. He's Very Good In 'east Enders' Because He Plays A Version Of Himself. I Think I Can Play A Version Of Myself - That's About All I Can Do.
