idiotic life people
People come up to me and say, 'Can I just thank you for writing my life?' And I reply, 'I'm glad someone else is as idiotic as I am.'
people reviews word written
Reviews are written by people who don't understand the process of sitcom. I don't read reviews of anything. I go by word of mouth.
certain conform love meant naturally people sake shapes suits trying
If you're naturally a certain size, I think it suits you and you can see that. There's no point in trying to conform for the sake of it. People are meant to be different shapes, and their different shapes are so interesting and, ultimately, why people fall in love with them.
beyond bit frankly high love lovely obviously people photos posing saying shaking work
Obviously I love the fans, and it's beyond lovely that people like my work, and I love saying 'Hi,' shaking a hand, doing a high five. All that's fine. But the posing for photos is so time-consuming and frankly a bit weird.
obviously people
People are obviously going to mention what I look like, but it's a shame it has to be a key part. I can't just be Miranda.
confusion graves identify life minds people pleased rubbish sitcom
I do feel that there is a little confusion in people's minds between the real me and sitcom Miranda. I am pleased that people identify with the character, but I think they want me to be her and are disappointed that the real Miranda doesn't actually fall into graves or be that rubbish at life.
people want might
I want to be more physical and theatrical within the stand-up. There might be dance moments, and people better watch out - I will gallop.
dream thinking people
I think it's sad when people stop dreaming, or start losing hope. Because holding onto the bonkers dream might just turn out to be the most marvellous thing you ever did.
fact few hope laugh life main people quite reason
The main reason I got into comedy was in the hope that I could make a few people laugh and feel better about life, and the fact that I do that is quite overwhelming, really.
academic although bitter brilliant education focused fun good great loved lucky matter played school seven sports sure
I loved school. Not sure how much I focused on the education; just had fun and played lacrosse for seven years. It was lucky I had sport, which I was good at, so it didn't matter that I wasn't great on the academic side, or not brilliant at drama. Although I am still bitter about not being in the school choir. Furious, actually.
concerts hold musical perform singing thousands west
In my head, I have the most sensational singing voice. I perform concerts to thousands in the shower. The reality is I can hold a tune. The dream is a West End musical one day - no, really!
accept angry continue fewer inherent rather sexism time women
I know there are fewer women comics, and I think there'll continue to be an inherent sexism in many industries, comedy being one, just because things do take a while to evolve. Things are changing, but it's going to take time. I accept this rather than getting angry about it.
fine
Things don't have to come to you in your youth. It's fine for them to come to you when you get older. That's a motto in my household.
certain equivalent national pressure saying
I'm not saying writing comedy's brain surgery, but there is a certain pressure to it. It's the equivalent of doing homework that's going to end up on national television.
