I love Sutton House in Clapton, a beautiful example of Tudor architecture.

Things change when you get to 40. I'm embarrassed even that I'm going through it. In a very morbid way, at 40 you become aware of how long you've been on Earth and you start to question what you're going to use the remaining time doing.

I'm a sheep when it comes to opinions; I will change my mind and jump on the bandwagon.

I always, always want to make people laugh. In every situation. Even when it's inappropriate.

I think the best comedy is tragicomic. Yeah, I suppose if you were to look at everything I've done, there is a bit of a black streak through all of it. It's not deliberate: it's what makes me laugh, and there's a fine tradition of it, especially in Ireland.

I think that's important to women in comedy, that we get a lot of the good lines and you're not just the girlfriend or the sister.
