I am a hip-hop artist, as you probably know. My hip-hop name is Big Smalls.
How do you conduct an intimate relationship where no one ever loses it? Where no one ever lashes out, where no one ever smacks anyone in the mouth?
Everyone in comedy thinks if you go to the U.S. you become a global star but, unfortunately, I've always been a bit anti-American - so I never did.
As a comic and as a nurse, it's important to look calm on the surface when you're absolutely crapping yourself inside. So, if someone is waving a machete at you, which has happened to me when I was a nurse, it's important to make that person feel that you're in control.
And I also felt that no one in an audience could abuse me worse than the sort of abuse I had had at work as a psychiatric nurse.
I have friends who vote Tory, and I'm appalled, but that's not to say they're not great people in so many other ways.
I just don't like travelling very much.
I'm sure some cynical people would point to that as the main reason for doing it for a lot of people.
A lot of people do that kind of nostalgia stuff believing that they were very happy in their teenage years, but that's probably just an illusion.
Being Christian towards poor people means trying to improve their lives and give them back some self-respect.
Does anyone really go into nursing intending to be apathetic, cold and removed from suffering? I find that very difficult to believe.
Each generation has a backlash against the generation before.
Even nice things don't make you happy when you're tired.
Even when I wasn't overweight I was never one of those girls or women who wanted to look nice. I always thought it wasn't important.
Madness isn't altogether a bad thing in comedy.
No one I know is actually so rude as to tell me I've become duller since having children. But I'm sure they think it.
Once you get labelled, people expect you to behave within the very narrow confines of that label.
I'm a terrible sort of non-fussy eater, really. I don't like posh food very much, and the more ingredients something's got in it, the less I tend to like it.
I've never, ever had people being aggressive to me in public or abusing me, and actually quite a lot of men do say to me, 'You're quite good' - though they can't bear to go, 'You're great.'
I don't know really, it doesn't feel like it has changed to me but I think to have to move with the times. Try out different areas and not get stuck in 1978.
It is unrealistic to expect an entire profession to be completely good. There are bound to be some individuals who are stressed, who are unkind, who are a bit rubbish at their job, who are in the wrong career.
It's a video release as well so I have to be perfectly honest and go, probably not specifically for DVD, but there are extra bits on it that aren't on anything else, so as exciting as that sounds.
My father was an engineer and my mother was a social worker, and they met as young socialists. That probably tells you everything you need to know about my attitude to money - I've never really been bothered about it.
My personal opinion is that you can't be racist towards white people. You can be prejudiced about them, but being prejudiced isn't an illegal act, whereas being racist can be.
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.
