“Comedians have to write to survive because you don't get cast for your beauty.”
“I definitely used to write a lot at school. Comic poetry and drawings about people.”
“When I write, I create really absurd situations which become false because I am after the joke.”
“As a writer myself, my job has very often been to also write on the job. So you get the script and a vague idea of how the scene might work, and you then add funny words or change the script. I'm not the world's best writer or the world's best actor, but I can do that thing where I can fix - or ruin - fix-slash-ruin, add quirk, add value.”
