I didn't really realise that I was going to have more obstacles because I was a woman. It was never something that I thought about.

I think commitment is inextricably linked with success, and rightly or wrongly, people with a fierce commitment to their goals - the Kanyes of this world - are really entertaining.

When I talk about celebrities, it's not a dismantling of that human being.

Alice Levine has great unique style and beautiful red hair.

I had white hair when I was 19. I think bleach can be addictive, and before long, you've gone too far with it and can't tell you've got a problem. It was over-processed and genuinely crispy, but I thought I looked amazing.

The more you mess with texture and colour, the worse your hair is going to feel.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to look and feel like a grown woman when I was young. That's one reason why it's important to hold adults who take advantage of that fully accountable.

I don't think I spoke to anyone apart from my daughter for the first two years of her life.

If you really want to wind up Piers Morgan, send him a pic of Jeremy Clarkson.

How are people still working with Terry Richardson?

Society wants happy families.

We don't have 'posh' in Canada. It's just not a thing that exists.

I am behind Kanye West for American President 100 per cent.

The holidays are the worst time to travel, and ISIS aren't making things any easier.

If you're struggling for gift ideas, my advice is to give experiences rather than things.

I love paying people to touch me. Nail techs, hair stylists, dermatologists, make-up artists, osteopaths: you name it, I love it.

All I've ever wanted to be is a strong, powerful, beautiful black woman.

One of my favourite things about living in the U.K. is having that chance to go to festivals.

We don't have glamour models in Canada at all.

I feel like my comedy voice is to take the news and everything that's happening and put a funny spin on it or to pick out the things I find funny about it.

I thank God every day that there was no YouTube or Twitter when I was a teenager. I would have had a channel, and it would have been mortifying.

When I talk about celebrities, I don't dislike them - it's what they represent.

Justin Bieber is a lovely chap.

In Canada, good waitresses are tipped well. I learnt that the harder you work, the more money you make.

I really loved making my mom laugh, and I knew that she thought that I was funny. It was really valuable, in my home growing up, to be able to have a chat and participate in a conversation and be funny. Whatever I could do to make my mom laugh could either get me out of trouble or just get me more attention or get me respect in the house.

I started doing little amateur nights at the comedy club that was right next to the restaurant that I waitressed in when I was in university. I was probably 22 years old. I didn't do it with any intention of making a career out of it; I had just always valued comedy.

I wasn't properly performing in Canada. I was just starting out, and when everyone starts out, they're terrible. I'm sure there are some Kellyanne Conway videos of me just really dying on a stage.

I was lucky to develop in the U.K. because I find comedy - in addition to being caustic - it's quite literary over here, and alternative comedy isn't so alternative.

People who like my stuff and know what my agenda is have never mistaken me for being racist or poking fun at the wrong thing.

I always tried to fit in, so I was a cheerleader with the orange skin and white-blonde hair, and Hooters was part of that.

In Canada, we just have rich and poor, but we don't constantly remind poor people about it.

I'm a single mother. It's silly to turn down work.

I was seen as a little weirdo. But I was certain I wasn't a weirdo. I knew who the weirdos were, and it wasn't me!

I'd never say something that I didn't feel I could defend.

I'm very careful not to tell a joke just to get a reaction.

The beautiful thing about comedy in the U.K. is that it has a clever twist to it, and when you really break it down, the joke isn't filthy at all: it's clever.

I'm a flirt by nature, and I like flirting with that line of what's passable and what's not, and I genuinely don't believe that I cross it.

I'm proud to be Canadian. But I identify as being a British mum.

I'm not a Rachel Dolezal. I don't fake tan; I don't have the cornrows, I don't misappropriate. I just want to be Beyonce.

My mother was a businesswoman; my grandmother was a businesswoman - it never occurred to me that life might be harder because you're a woman. It wasn't until later and I had a bigger sense of the world that I realised that.

Growing up, I loved comedy even before I knew that you could be a stand-up comedian.

I wanted to be liked when I was younger, which I think a lot of us do; I'm not ashamed to say it. I was a product of my environment, a product of my culture.

I don't know that I'd be a comedian if I stayed in Canada.

I've always been attracted to comedy that was really close to the line and made people a little uncomfortable, because that's where progress comes from.

I'm not a nasty person.

Fresh air and exercise. That's all you need to stay slim and feel better about life.

Social class has worked for years. Born into the right family, go to the right schools, even if you're not super bright to start with, you'll turn out bright. You go to the right university, you get the right job, you have the right connections, you'll make it to the top. Job done, very efficient.

I think overweight people are lazy and that they are bankrupting the country.

I will call out the lazy, the idle, and the ignorant. I will support the hard working, the industrious, and the law.

The Conservatives don't need more women. They need women like Karren Brady.
