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

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 started writing sketches with Dennis Kelly, who I ended up writing 'Pulling' with. We entered a BBC competition and did quite well, then started writing bits for other people's shows. You wheedle your way in, write pilots and eventually you end up writing a sitcom.

I'm the person who will go to a wedding and switch the place cards around because I don't want to sit next to someone I don't know, because I'm so bad at chatting to strangers.

I hate comics who look at comedy as therapy. But at least it gets things out of my system in a funny way.

I am very good at comedy off screen. I wish I could translate it so that you could get to see how mad I am.

I would love to do a comedy spoof, like a Spinal Tap kind of thing.

I always wanted to do Restoration comedy. It seems like so much fun.
