Growing up on our estate, we were all different colours, but we were all really poor. I never really realised that black was a problem for some people.

Chewing Gum' is kind of like the world I wish I grew up in. There wasn't really a sense of community growing up.

The acting world is tough. It's competitive - and even more so for women - but actually, for black female actresses, the issue isn't really that it's competitive: it's that there just aren't enough roles for them in film and TV.

The unpredictability of the weather, the increasing possibility of intelligence introducing a species more powerful than ours, the growing uncertainty that animals can or should be slaughtered for our pleasure, has led many of us to start asking more complex questions about what is and isn't normal.

If anything, being a female has afforded me opportunities on YouTube that I necessarily didn't have in doing traditional comedy and auditioning in TV and film and that whole world.

In stand-up, you do need to be having fun up there, like Richard Pryor said, but you have to know yourself well, too... You start learning, and it's like playing a piano. You know exactly what keys to stroke, 'cause really, with comedy, you're, like, fiddling with people's souls.

Anyone that knows me knows I love to joke around and have fun.

The comic is the perception of the opposite; humor is the feeling of it.
