I'm a huge, huge believer in love. Huge!

I'm never overawed by a situation and I think that's because I've always looked several years older than I am. So because people were treating me like I was 40 when I was 29, I've always felt in control of a situation. People used to say, when you're 32, you'll look 32. I'm still waiting for that moment, where my age catches up with my appearance.

The bottom line is that female writers aren't being given enough opportunities by male producers.

Going out with other actors is never good; actresses are neurotic, and actors are horrendous egotists.

The fame thing has happened very gradually, so I've been kind of lucky.

Comedy people are always present because they're always looking for the funniest version of whatever the line is. Sometimes theater people, where scripts are sacrosanct, aren't quite as present in scenes. That's a massive generalization, but in my experience, I find that comedy people are great to improvise with and to do scenes with because they're there.

In comedy it helps if there's a friendly atmosphere on the set.
