I definitely enjoy an audience, when I'm performing. As I get older I'm kind of less comfortable at being demonstrative. I always fancied myself as a raconteur, but that never really worked out.

I often talk to myself while walking down the street. I did it as a kid.

I never go to these showbiz parties. I avoid them with a 10-inch pole.

I grew up in a house of forthright women.

I'm probably working on three different scripts at any time, so there's never a time where I've got nothing to do.

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

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