Being an actor is mostly about rejection and being out of work. It was a fast lesson in all of that stuff.

With a comedy, it's so important to see it with an audience and an audience who really wants to be there and is enthusiastic, otherwise it can be quite a traumatizing experience.

I've been reading The Feminine Mystique by Betty Friedan, which is obviously very dated now but still relevant. It's so interesting to see how far we've come and how far we haven't come with all these myths that people put onto women.

TV is a completely different discipline, which I think I am still learning about. You just have to learn how to work fast and pace yourself.

I love TV as a viewer.

The British are so funny.

The good thing about having a kid is you don't think about that as much. Like when I turned 30, for instance, that was much more momentous. Forty is particularly great for a woman. It's a big thing.
