Dawn French's Quotes

  • Brit sitcom is usually good character observation and less gags. The Americans love the comedy to be high gag quota and slick.
  • Fawlty Towers (1975) was an enormous favorite. I once laughed so hard with my dad at this series that I actually wet my pants and then my dad wet his. We were in genuine physical pain with laughing. Lovely
  • I am not, I repeat, NOT a lesbian - even though I'd like to be one when I grow up.
