I like reading, I like boring things, and yet I think people for ages had this image of me that I was on the tube with a chainsaw looking for any likely candidate.

There are lots of people who believe that caricature of me the tabloids created, so they think they don't like me.

I think some people ramp a side of themselves up for performance purposes.

I think it's difficult, if you're a quite private person like I am, to write about your life very intimately.

I think people like Steve Vai are so boring.

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.
