Around Quote by Catherine Tate

“When I realised I had a facility for humour, I latched on to it, and it gave me confidence and I built my personality around it. So I subconsciously made myself become the funny one so that would be my label rather than the ginger one or the red-faced one.” quote by Catherine Tate — Download Open image
