Comedian

I came to music very young.

Music is where I'm still. It's where I'm focused. It's such a joy. I'd like to make it a big part of my life.

I sent an ex of mine an enormous oil painting of me as a housewarming gift. It was one of the most elaborate and time-consuming practical jokes I've ever done.

As a child, I was awkward, fidgety, and shy, with a total inability to concentrate, and in that regard, I'm exactly the same as an adult.

I was bookish and awkward and wanted a means of expressing the millions of emotions flying around inside me. The piano seemed as good an outlet as any.

In Hebrew, the name Susan means 'graceful lily' - in Khmer, it means 'girl with the bad puns,' and in ancient Aztec, it translates as 'she with the cockerel hair and dirty glasses.'

I ended up in TV because I have no ability to do anything else. I have an agent who tells me where I have to be when.

You're never going to persuade a meat-eater to become a vegetarian on taste grounds. They're completely different. One is a cleaner, fresher taste: it hasn't got that bass-note beefiness.

I'm desperate to be in the same room as Katie Hopkins. There are a few things I'd like to say to her, really calmly. I'd just like to put forward a case for her to integrate the 'her' that she pretends to be on TV with the 'her' she is as a real person.

It was a privilege to experience life beyond the cliches and to witness the vibrancy, chaos, and multiculturalism of Bengal first hand.

I'm very impatient.

I made 'Heading Out' with a lot of love and surrounded myself with brilliant people who challenged me to do my best and also gave a great deal of love and support back. As a result, the experience was blissful.

You can say a lot of things about me, but I own my own opinions. They're not for sale.

You can love food without being a cook. Equally, you can love food and be a very good cook.

We all belong to a tribe. You might be a religious or a family person - that's your tribe.

If you fix your sense of self to your job, then you're heading for disaster.

I'd really like to see Mary Berry busting out a Pitbull number!

I always want to have fun and be silly and be childish. I'm very childish. I am at my happiest when I am a child and I am just playing.

Universal health care is, for me, the most sacred part, the most important pillar, of British citizenship.

I would have loved to have been science-minded enough to be in the caring profession - either as a doctor or nurse or vet.
