Spending way too long worrying about what people think about me is a bad habit.

Hackney gets a bit of a bad rap, but it's the only place I've ever lived that felt like a community. I know my neighbours.

I always, always want to make people laugh. In every situation. Even when it's inappropriate.

I never used to see anything on TV where the man was in the weaker position. It was always the female showing emotion, breaking down, being emotionally torn apart by men.

I'll cry anywhere because I can do it quite subtly. Walking, that's a good time to have a cry.

Comedians... they're different from actors. There's more ego there. They create the whole thing, I guess, so they're more precious.

Personally, my twenties were a complete waste of time. Professionally, I hope some good came of them.

I love Sutton House in Clapton, a beautiful example of Tudor architecture.

I'm the person who will go to a wedding and switch the place cards around because I don't want to sit next to someone I don't know, because I'm so bad at chatting to strangers.

I was the kid who liked making other people laugh, so maybe the comedy came before the acting.

Stresses in a marriage and in family life, sometimes they're prompted by whatever is going on in the wider world as well as what's going on behind your door.

You can't always judge people by the things they done. You got to judge them by what they are doing now.

I write about my feelings, things that happen in my life and experiences.

The woman's soul is fashioned as a shelter in which other souls may unfold.

He that looseth is Marchant as well as he that gaines.

The focus is what is right before you - to give it your best. It sows the seeds of tomorrow.

I AM VERY MOVED BY SURVIVORS. BY PEOPLE WHO KNOW HOW TO OVERCOME A HANDICAP, A SITUATION, OR ANYTHING. VISITING THE HEARTS AND SOULS OF THOSE PEOPLE TEACHES ME A LOT ABOUT HUMANS AND HUMANITY.

In every person's face, there is one place that seems to express them most accurately. With my grandmother, you always looked at her mouth.

To initiate (user) action, doing must be easier than thinking.

An artist needs not so much an audience, as to feel a need to answer, a promise to respond... a good feeling about his art.

When I filter the sunshine in my life, I bask in the light of a transforming and inspiring reality.
