A lot of things in 'Parents' I find very truthful.

My mum's from Yorkshire and my parents aren't snotty or posh - they're very hard workers, both of them.

When I write, I create really absurd situations which become false because I am after the joke.

Getting a new passport took me a stupid amount of time. I had to go back five times with different photographs because they kept saying I was smiling, which is against the rules. I was not smiling.

I truly would love to be a designer-label girl, but I am very much High Street.

A Local Government Stationery Store is something to behold. It's like walking through the back of a cupboard into a really dull Narnia.

I definitely used to write a lot at school. Comic poetry and drawings about people.
