Comedians have to write to survive because you don't get cast for your beauty.

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.

As a writer myself, my job has very often been to also write on the job. So you get the script and a vague idea of how the scene might work, and you then add funny words or change the script. I'm not the world's best writer or the world's best actor, but I can do that thing where I can fix - or ruin - fix-slash-ruin, add quirk, add value.

I don't leave London, really, and I don't do theatre, because I want to put the kids to bed.

When I'm depressed, I definitely comfort eat, but I also eat when I'm happy. The only time I don't eat is if I am terribly nervous.

I tell people that I'm a Christian, but I don't think it's giving an insight into who I am or what I'm about.
