Confidence in a bloke would be arrogance in a woman. For years, I didn't give interviews because I was scared of people judging me or thinking I was arrogant.

I think it's much more natural as a writer to want to tell one story rather than lots of small stories that are half an hour long.

The characters are not allowed to change if you write a sitcom; they're not allowed to learn anything. There's all these sorts of rules, and you go, 'I just want to be able to write one character and then leave that behind.' Also, as a performer, and I may regret saying this, but it would be my own personal hell to be trapped in the sitcom.

There are some things that as an actor scare you, and if you can capture that fear on screen, it will be interesting.

I probably revisit in my work the moment at which I realised that dreams couldn't be reality.
