Zitat des Tages von Paul O'Grady:
Comedy, your funny bone, is formed in childhood.
I am quite happy to take a cut. You've got to, if you want to work and continue working.
If I wanted your opinion, I'd slap it outta ya.
I go in the butchers and there's not a lot of meat I can eat these days, with having all the animals.
I don't live with people, that's why my relationships last. I'm not romantic. Even when I was a teenager if somebody asked if they could hold my hand I'd say, - no, it's not heavy, I can hold it myself, thank you'.
I know it's a cliche, but I didn't want to work in an office.
The worst drivers are women in people carriers, men in white vans and anyone in a baseball cap. That's just about everyone.
I was a really picky eater as a child. Because I was obsessed by Popeye, my mum and aunts would put my food in a can to represent spinach and we'd hum the Popeye tune and then I'd happily eat it.
My primary school teacher once poured a bottle of curdled school milk forcefully down my throat. Then I threw it up all over her suede shoes. I'd rather have drunk from the spittoon in Barney's barber shop.
I went to work for the Civil Service. I'd wanted to work for the Ministry of Defence because I had some far-fetched idea that it had something to do with the Avengers, but I ended up in Social Security.
I enjoyed school - although I ran away on the first day. I'd reminded the teacher that it was nearly time for 'Watch With Mother' on TV.
I like to travel, and I would love to be fluent in at least four languages.
Times are hard and friends are few.
Every week I have a disaster in my kitchen. The fire alarm goes off repeatedly. But it doesn't stop me being adventurous.
I make a wonderful cure-all called Four Thieves, just like my mum did. It's cider vinegar, 36 cloves of garlic and four herbs, representing four looters of plague victims' homes in 1665 who had their sentences reduced from burning at the stake to hanging for explaining the recipe that kept them from catching the plague.
I love looking after animals. I find it very enjoyable.
Taking a pay cut won't demotivate me, not at all. It's not about money in the first place. It's about the job.
The person I always enjoy having a meal with is Cilla Black. I might not see her for months, but then I'll pick her up at her flat, and we'll go to a restaurant, and it's like I've seen her that morning.
I don't want to sound like Catherine Cookson but I've worked since I was eight, with a paper round and in a fruit and veg shop. Taking a pay cut won't demotivate me, not at all. It's not about money in the first place. It's about the job.
I've got four dogs, eight chickens, 10 sheep and six pigs.
I think it's bad for fellas when they lose their mothers. Mine was such a character. Oh it was sad, really sad. And, with her gone, the family home was gone, so what was left of any roots I had were completely dug up.
When my dog Buster died, I couldn't get over it. I was in bits.
I was born late - what my mother calls the last kick of a dying horse. There's three of us children, but I'm 13 or 14 years younger than my brother and sister.
I don't like awards ceremonies. I'd sooner go to the pub with mates I've known for years.
I only like doing live telly. It's great because you go in and do it and then go home. No edit, no retakes.
