I remember, when I got my first period, I was almost afraid to tell me mother, who's quite an open, loving person. But I felt really weird; the chat just wasn't there.

Everyone has material about cats, and everyone has material about family and what they think about their government or childhood.
People who succeed in my job are people who are not afraid to look silly.
You change things by focusing your energy on doing your job well.
Please note when you watch a play, you can't pause it and go to the loo or shout into the kitchen for a tea. Learned that the hard way.
I've never once in my life had a tan - I'm basically a ghost!
For ethical fashion, I really like Reformation. It's so fashionable - no hemp trousers.
I wear a lot of blacks and greys, then put in splashes of colours, but I like wearing strong shades like reds and neons, too.
You can't fake comedy. You can't make it look beautiful or put an interesting bit of music on in the background: funny can only be funny if you're funny.
I like the more community element of comedy. And I hate people pitting other people against each other. Audiences are always judging you, but when you're being judged for a competition, it just takes away the joy of the job.
In this modern world, where we have filters to make us look as nice as possible, it's good to take off the filter and go, 'I could look stupid here.' You'll learn something and be better for it.
My job is to make people laugh.
Clare Henderson creates the most beautiful delicate prints and paintings.
I've always hated exercise, but because I've had problems with my back, I now do Pilates, and I walk a lot.
I love the garishness of the '90s - the giant platform shoes, the sparkly butterfly tops, the chokers.
It's a difficult thing to be in fashion or popular - it's all so fickle.
When you see people getting involved in Comic Relief, especially in tough times or times of recession, that's very positive.
Don't be afraid to look silly. You are only holding yourself back if you are afraid of looking silly or failing.
Nothing chills out the soul like the comfort of tea and a potato.
I love BareMinerals pink blushers, Smashbox eyeshadows and eyeliners, and Trish McEvoy mascara.
Always use sun protection - my favourite brand is Image Skincare.
I've got a short torso and long legs, so I tend to wear longer tops and things that sit on my hips.
