bit harder women
I think it is a bit harder for women starting in comedy.
absolutely love
I absolutely love Scotland. I'm always happy there.
people somehow sort
I think people imagine that your fame somehow sort of equates with how much you get paid.
british-comedian harder men odd personal relationships whereas women
Men would find it much harder because men have such odd personal relationships with each other. They don't really emotionally connect, whereas women do. I think women become very close.
feminist good people women
I write for women because it's the only way I can use what I've experienced. It's good that people like what I write, but I don't want to go down the feminist path.
jobs grieving long
I did grieve a bit when I wasn't having the chemo anymore. I was used to sitting in the little chair and then the nurse would come and do it. It was like that was your job for that long and it was reassuring.
roles lucky wells
Well, I'm lucky because, you see, I'll probably bounce back from this role.
mother book saws
I grew up with a mother who, every time she saw something, would say, I'm going to look that up. And I've become that person - I've become the reference-book person.
smile wall people
I'd much rather have sat there and just been a fly on the wall, instead of having to smile at people. I'd rather have been a waitress. Just gone round and stared at people.
games scary police
I remember when the first police scary video thing came out, and you thought, wow, ooh, look at this, come and look, come and look. And now it's on every channel.
integrity character mean
I love the TV show, and if you make a bad movie it means you've soiled it. Just like if we made an advert. We were offered so many times and I'd say, look, this is the good thing, and you can't compromise that, because then you compromise the integrity of the characters.
faces firsts remember
I can remember the first face-lift show that came on. I rang up everyone - are you watching? I'm watching.
support flaws reason
The reason they keep it so tight is that no one liked them, so that without each other, actually, they couldn't exist. They support each other. They support their flaws and everything else.
men ideas liberty
No, sometimes we just have to take liberties because the idea was so good. I wish we'd just gone with the idea that Patsy had been a man. It would have been fantastic.
