I was so keen to become a comedian that actually doing the comedy itself almost came second.
When I was a child in the 1940s and early 1950s, my parents and grandparents spoke of Britain as home, and New Zealand had this strong sense of identity and coherence as being part of the commonwealth and a the identity of its people as being British.
I feel like my honesty gives people the freedom to talk about things they wouldn't otherwise.
