I think actors go along a continuum from Simon Callow down to kind of Ross Kemp, and I like to think of myself as the Ross Kemp of comedy.

My preference is swimming in the sea. I find the sea is more liberating, wild and good fun rather than plodding up and down a pool. Jo Brand findfungood Change image and share on social
When you cry, you don't look very attractive; you look snotty and blotchy. People seem to manage to cry quite prettily these days, and to me, that smacks of not being very genuine. Jo Brand attractiveblotchycry Change image and share on social
