• "My worst ever made up line: "My name is Antigone. My parents really liked the Greek Classics." What a geek! The guy didn't believe me for a minute. But it did make it easier for him to believe the made-up name my friend gave. Can't remember what it was, so it definitely wasn't as memorable as mine."

• "Miss Gibbons, our Exclusive Brethren English teacher in a state co-ed school, used to put her hand on our knees (the girls anyway, I don't know about the boys) to emphasise what she was teaching. When she wasn't close enough to touch us, she caressed her own breasts. I don't feel nostalgic for her - hell, no - just the fact that, no matter how creepy she was, she taught us how to use apostrophes. I feel very nostalgic about apostrophes, and I wish teaching students how to use them would become fashionable again. Without the need for physical contact, needless to say."

• "What would make me move to New York? It wouldn't take much actually: Flight of the Conchords making another series and including me in it as a deranged bag lady who appears in the background of every song waving at the camera. Or New Zealand First winning the election."

• "I would use my mind trick to persuade the oil companies to give all new mothers and fathers free petrol so they can drive their babies to sleep when the crying hasn't stopped for hours and hours and hours and hours - you get the picture. Now, hand over the petrol pump."

• "I have loved to dance since I was a small child, and I continued to do so until I was halfway through my third pregnancy (and the dance centre I attended closed down). Tango is like having sex in public - it's an awesome feeling to move that sensuously and still be doing something legal."
