The thing is, I love a celebrity interview. Doesn't matter how big or how small. It could be Hillary Clinton or the guy who made it to the third round of 'Popstars,' I'll read it.

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

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

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.

I never used to see anything on TV where the man was in the weaker position. It was always the female showing emotion, breaking down, being emotionally torn apart by men.

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.

Hackney gets a bit of a bad rap, but it's the only place I've ever lived that felt like a community. I know my neighbours.
