attention needs comic
I have always had a need for attention but didn't plan to be a comic.
writing careers people
I have a very solo career. I only write with people that I really adore.
successful thinking
I don't think I'm successful.
thinking vulgar display
I don't do marriage. I think it's incredibly naff. And I don't like vulgar displays of ostentation.
i-can
I can't tan naturally.
reality tvs folks
I can't stand folk who are all snobby about reality TV.
fashion clothes feelings
I love fashion, but I don't come from a background of loving clothes, and I remember feeling badly dressed from a young age.
thinking issues priorities
I am not sure gender ever won't be an issue in comedy, because I think that women do have different priorities in some respects.
glasses situation ifs
I am very short-sighted, and if I don't like a situation I take my glasses off.
lying naps three
I wouldn't say I was grumpy. It's more pathological - I have seismic tantrums. I get red in the face and cry at least three times a week, and I have to lie down and have a nap afterwards.
daughter mother strong
My daughter has always had a strong sense of her own identity. From the day she was born her father and I were in love with and in awe of her and still are.
