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.

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.

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.

Fear tells you what can’t be done

The truth of God may well be likened to a narrow path skirted on either side by a dangerous and destructive precipice: in other words, it lies between two gulfs of error.

Take up the Bible, compare the religion of the Latter-day Saints with it, and see if it will stand the test

Prayer does not mean simply to pour out one's heart. It means rather to find the way to God and to speak with him, whether the heart is full or empty.

The evolution of the music is what allows it to survive.

I think it's a room full of insecure actors, which is ultimately very comforting.

I see smoke, smoke means fire, fire means people, people means we get the hell out of here.

I also learned to be more confident, to trust my instincts more.

There's this thing of you can live in a city and be completely alone, not notice anything going on around you.

Be assured that it gives much more pain to the mind to be in debt, than to do without any article whatever which we may seem to want.
