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.

My mum's from Yorkshire and my parents aren't snotty or posh - they're very hard workers, both of them.

TV feels quite constipated, and the thing I find particularly difficult is the branding of the channels where it's not 'Is it a good script?' but 'Is it a BBC2 script?'

I've got a great relationship with my dad, but I can imagine how annoying it would be if I had to move back into his house.

When I'm depressed, I definitely comfort eat, but I also eat when I'm happy. The only time I don't eat is if I am terribly nervous.

I truly would love to be a designer-label girl, but I am very much High Street.

When I'm a brunette, it's four times harder to hail a taxi. Then I go blonde again, and suddenly there are taxis everywhere.

Comedians have to write to survive because you don't get cast for your beauty.
