I had a massive amount of self-belief when I did stand-up.

There's a domino effect with certain things you say.

I'm getting positive feedback for my acting so we'll see if any other interesting parts come up.

It is easy for me to love myself, but for ladies to do it is another question altogether.

We had a week off in the middle of shooting, but as soon as everyone stopped, we all went down with six different types of flu and other unmentionable diseases.

With stand-up you've just got that one chance. Audiences can be quite fickle.

My forte is playing drunks down the ages. When my agent rings me about a role, I don't ask what the part is, but what century it's in.

I used to be good with kids, but as I get older, I'm grumpy and terrible with them. As for doing a gig at a 6-year old's birthday party, you couldn't pay me enough.

When I wasn't as attractive as I am now, I suffered at the hands of cruel children and their taunts until I realised that confidence and a bit of aesthetic care can overcome that.

I love the way my weight fluctuates in the newspapers. It was 18 stone and then people look at a bad picture of me and add a few more stone on. I think the highest was 22 stone.

They look outside the windows of their apartment in town and realize they're not living in a terrace anymore. This is a room full of dreamers who like to go to London for a day.

I could kill you a thousand times over Abraham, but we would never be even. You took everything I had.

Positive thoughts give positive energy.

A realization that even if you had discovered the future, it really didn't change how you lived in the present. They were truth, but they weren't all the truth.

You don't say, I'm going to be a writer when I grow up - at least I didn't.

Child-care costs are now the largest family expenditure in much of America, even exceeding the cost of housing.

Thing, body, matter, are nothing apart from the combinations of the elements, - the colours, sounds, and so forth - nothing apart from their so-called attributes.

If a man has nothing to eat, fasting is the most intelligent thing he can do.

The children of childish parents age quickly.

The difference between ambition and discontent is quite a fine line and sometimes it is hard to tell which is which and which you are feeling!

The studios have their list of five actresses and whether they're right or wrong for a role doesn't matter. It's how much money their last movie made.
