Once I'm on stage, there's just no time for a sip of water - I've always got my hands in puppets! My voice is raw by the time I finish.
Nina Conti
If I'm on my own, I'll speak to 'Monkey' to generate new stuff for the act. I mean, I don't do it for moral support, although I wouldn't say that's out of the question. In fact, I could do it, I might do it... yes, I think I should actually start doing it more.
Nina Conti
I looked into studying psychoanalysis, wrote to the governing body and was about to start the year where they psychoanalyse you, four times a week, before you get to do it yourself. I just thought I'd taken the ventriloquism as far as I could. My act is so deconstructive, and I'd made all the monkey jokes anyone wanted to hear.
Nina Conti
With acting, I always felt like I didn't have control of it. It was all about other people giving me a job.
Nina Conti
I think acting is overrated. I'm not sure I enjoyed it. You never get to write your own roles. It's wonderful for some people, but I found it nerve-wracking. I was too busy worrying that no one would give me their words to speak.
Nina Conti
I make napkins talk in restaurants, socks talk on car journeys. There is an awful lot of puppetry going on in the house.
Nina Conti
I feel Scottish when with English people, and when I'm with Scottish people, I realise I'm English.
Nina Conti
Because I'm around comedians all the time, in my downtime I tend not to watch comedy. Something the whole family enjoys is 'You've Been Framed!' It satisfies all of us. It's universal, and we all laugh a lot.
Nina Conti
The way I talk to the puppets is real, and it's in the moment, and it's seeing what will happen. It's not something that is scripted.
Nina Conti
I think I've got it pretty easy compared with somebody who works at a desk nine to five. I'm just working for an hour in the evening. I get a bit breathless, as I have to talk non-stop because of the puppets.
