I just feel energized when I am around young talented people. There is something about these kids that's amazing. I learn as much from them as they do from me.

It's great when people appreciate your work but I don't know how seriously to take it. The amazing thing is that I found something so early that I can support myself doing and that can even be extremely lucrative but I love it either way.

Every time I sit in the audience and watch a show that I have been involved with it is such an amazing feeling to see all those people around me knowing they are actually watching and enjoying something I have written.

The best days I have are usually days where I'm out in the woods and something happens like I see an amazing animal like a fox or I get a glimpse of a wild pig or something that I never see. Or crazy things happen.

What's amazing is that I'm recognized all over the world through 'Red Dwarf.' British fans are exceptional but the American fans are something else. Some of them fly 500 miles to stand in line for three hours just to meet me then when they do they collapse. It makes you feel like a rock star!

I think this is the biggest win in my career. To beat Venus in Wimbledon is just something amazing.

It's odd because I used to see pictures on telly or wherever of what I now know to be Shaftesbury Avenue and I used to wonder what that amazing street with all the lights was. Well now I know. I think when you get a wee taste of something it maybe isn't what you thought it was.

It's just amazing to do something that's part of a pop culture phenomenon.

We're all doing different things and some of the girls are mums so priorities have changed. But I would love to do something with the Spice Girls again. I know we would have an amazing time.

I stood for parliament with the amazing support and help of my ex-husband but it's not something that was handed to me like a peerage. I worked hard and was elected. So my achievements such as they are are my own.
