Sometimes I worry about being a success in a mediocre world.
I remember when Victoria Wood started to come through, and I thought she was great, though she and I are very different in our approach.
I have big friends who won't go swimming because they're too embarrassed about it. I feel that's such a shame, because actually people should be encouraging fat people who are exercising to do it, not pointing and laughing.

I never think, 'Where am I going to be in a year's time?' That seems to be a sure way of missing the fact that you might be quite happy now.
