I'm a sheep when it comes to opinions; I will change my mind and jump on the bandwagon.		101
At 27 or so I thought, you know, I actually do really want to make money and have a proper life, and I don't want to be a loser. I know! I'll go to university and get a proper degree and maybe get a job in media... I went and did an English degree.		102
I'm the person who will go to a wedding and switch the place cards around because I don't want to sit next to someone I don't know, because I'm so bad at chatting to strangers.	Wedding	103
I despise shows that present friendship where you're always there for each other and really strong because I don't know anyone like that. I mean, I've got great friends, but I can go months without seeing them because I think, 'I just can't deal with having to give you anything.'	Friendship	104
No matter how many frustrations come along, or how many problems arise, I never lose the feeling of how lucky I am. I'm so pleased to be doing a job that makes me laugh every day. I'm aware that it's a huge privilege.		105
If you're not the brightest or if you're not great at sports, or if you're not artistic, then you've got to find a way to make your mark; otherwise you're just this tiny little insignificant dot. I didn't want to be insignificant, so I made people laugh.		106
I always, always want to make people laugh. In every situation. Even when it's inappropriate.		107
There are lots of actors, and you need a way to stand out. Writing comedy sketches was a way of doing that.		108
Comedy and drama are less ageist media for women than stuff like light entertainment. But in TV or film, women have to be more pleasing on the eye than men.		109
I think the best comedy is tragicomic. Yeah, I suppose if you were to look at everything I've done, there is a bit of a black streak through all of it. It's not deliberate: it's what makes me laugh, and there's a fine tradition of it, especially in Ireland.		110
I never used to see anything on TV where the man was in the weaker position. It was always the female showing emotion, breaking down, being emotionally torn apart by men.		111
I'll cry anywhere because I can do it quite subtly. Walking, that's a good time to have a cry.		112
You feel you can pretend to be young until you're 50, but after that, what happens and how do you approach it?		113
Comedians... they're different from actors. There's more ego there. They create the whole thing, I guess, so they're more precious.		114
I think that's important to women in comedy, that we get a lot of the good lines and you're not just the girlfriend or the sister.		115
I started writing sketches with Dennis Kelly, who I ended up writing 'Pulling' with. We entered a BBC competition and did quite well, then started writing bits for other people's shows. You wheedle your way in, write pilots and eventually you end up writing a sitcom.		116
I was the kid who liked making other people laugh, so maybe the comedy came before the acting.		117
The thing is, I love a celebrity interview. Doesn't matter how big or how small. It could be Hillary Clinton or the guy who made it to the third round of 'Popstars,' I'll read it.		118
Any big televised event that starts at the crack of dawn is worth getting up for. I've done it all my life: big boxing matches, royal weddings, even TV-A.M.'s inaugural episode was enjoyed in pyjamas in my house.		119
Personally, my twenties were a complete waste of time. Professionally, I hope some good came of them.		120
Hackney gets a bit of a bad rap, but it's the only place I've ever lived that felt like a community. I know my neighbours.		121
I love Sutton House in Clapton, a beautiful example of Tudor architecture.	Architecture	122
You've only got a short shelf-life as an actor, and I want to make the most of it while I can.		123
I never felt like I had to rebel against my convent upbringing, because it was comparatively regular.		124
I've never for a second felt like my job has been more of a struggle because I'm a woman.		125
Spending way too long worrying about what people think about me is a bad habit.		126
I'm a massive scaredy cat. I'm scared of being in a fast car, I'm scared of being on a rollercoaster, I would never go skiing, I would never do anything that had the possibility of endangering my life in any way. I should get some therapy, really.		201
Things change when you get to 40. I'm embarrassed even that I'm going through it. In a very morbid way, at 40 you become aware of how long you've been on Earth and you start to question what you're going to use the remaining time doing.		202
