I am essentially a middle-aged woman who likes making up weird snack combinations and galloping. Miranda Hart agecombinationessentially Change image and share on social
The main reason I got into comedy was in the hope that I could make a few people laugh and feel better about life, and the fact that I do that is quite overwhelming, really. Miranda Hart comedyfactfeel Change image and share on social
However much I might have yearned to be one of The Beautiful Ones, particularly at those ghastly school discos, where any desperate attempt to impress the opposite sex lead to at best deep humiliation, I now feel extremely blessed that I wasn't. Miranda Hart attemptbeautifulbless share on social
I see myself as a comedian rather than a female comedian. I happen to be a woman, but I am a comedian by trade. Miranda Hart comedianfemalehappen Change image and share on social
If you're naturally a certain size, I think it suits you and you can see that. There's no point in trying to conform for the sake of it. People are meant to be different shapes, and their different shapes are so interesting and, ultimately, why people fall in love with them. Miranda Hart conformfallinterest share on social
Marriage was never a dream or an ambition for me. I thank my real mother for the fact that - unlike my sitcom mother - she never put any pressure on me or my sister to marry. Miranda Hart ambitiondreamfact Change image and share on social
I know there are fewer women comics, and I think there'll continue to be an inherent sexism in many industries, comedy being one, just because things do take a while to evolve. Things are changing, but it's going to take time. I accept this rather than getting angry about it. Miranda Hart acceptangrychange share on social
I am pleased to say that I am not a tortured comedian - I laugh a lot. My twenties weren't particularly happy, but it's the same for a lot of people. In your thirties, you realise that your life and your worries are really insignificant, and you have to force yourself to be more positive and take each day as a gift.

I'll always have to force myself to see the positive, because I'm wired badly, I'd say. I'm just naturally a bit under, a bit depressed. Miranda Hart badlybitedepress Change image and share on social
Being tall is very good for reaching high shelves and seeing in a crowd. Sadly, it has also given me the inability to dance. There's too much of me to look neat, which is most disappointing. Miranda Hart crowddancedisappoint Change image and share on social
