The characters do have a life of their own; it's weird.

I was asked about doing a nude shoot for men's magazine GQ. I thought it was the funniest thing I'd ever heard.

Stage is the most exciting. Film is lovely, because it's like a family.

I was having my teens in my 30s.

It seems that when you get to a certain age you almost give yourself permission to misbehave and say what you think. People allow it, with very old people.

There were people asking 'Can women be funny?' People still ask that. It's like asking: 'Can women breathe in and out?'

I read "Pride and Prejudice" [by Jane Austen]. I was gobsmacked by it - it's so funny and so modern. Unbelievable. You don't expect funny to come through after 200 years - humor doesn't transcend decades, let alone centuries.
