I never felt like I had to rebel against my convent upbringing, because it was comparatively regular.

Spending way too long worrying about what people think about me is a bad habit.

No matter how many frustrations come along, or how many problems arise, I never lose the feeling of how lucky I am. I'm so pleased to be doing a job that makes me laugh every day. I'm aware that it's a huge privilege.

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

I think that there's an idea in 2016 that if a woman doesn't have it all then she's lacking in some way, and I think that 'having it all' is the kid, the relationship and the career, and that seems horribly skewed. I get genuinely excited when I meet women - or men - who don't want to have children. It's refreshing and unusual and means they're not swayed by what society has told them, they're just listening to their own basic instincts. I love meeting people who are fulfilled by other things. I think, 'lucky old you' when I meet someone single.

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.
