“I went to London for drama school but I hated it.” — Daisy May Cooper Quote

I went to London for drama school but I hated it.

When I was in hospital, I recorded a ghost. My fave YouTube channel is Huff Paranormal, which is about a guy who talks to ghosts like he's talking to his neighbours.

I like to think I'm the canary down the mine for people.

I'm difficult to cast. In comedy, if there's a female character, usually written by a bloke, she's either the ditsy good-looking one, or the sexually aggressive one. I never fit into those.

I'm so bad with money, I had to hand all my cards over to my husband. It doesn't comprehend in my brain.

My mum grew up in Oldham and was going to work at a cigarette factory till she decided to go to drama school, so there's part of me that wants to represent the Northern working-class background.

Even at drama school if there was a part of some eastern European thug it would be me.

I think the main thing that I would say from drama school, the problem that I have with it is it can make certain people feel - well, there's lots of schooling systems - it can make certain people feel wrong and certain people feel right.

There are a lot of people at drama school that come from inherited wealth and it's an easier ride. I had to pay my way.
