Comedians... they're different from actors. There's more ego there. They create the whole thing, I guess, so they're more precious.

Personally, my twenties were a complete waste of time. Professionally, I hope some good came of them.

I've never for a second felt like my job has been more of a struggle because I'm a woman.

There are lots of actors, and you need a way to stand out. Writing comedy sketches was a way of doing that.

Comedy and drama are less ageist media for women than stuff like light entertainment. But in TV or film, women have to be more pleasing on the eye than men.

I was the kid who liked making other people laugh, so maybe the comedy came before the acting.

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.
