I'm an actor, and I'm supposed to reflect real people.

I work in Britain, where women are allowed to look their age.

I try not to look any further ahead than the next cup of tea. You never know if that cuppa will come or not, do you?

I think comedy stems from being honest, often painfully so. I hope I can achieve that perspective in my own life and also have fun.

I think comedy is the perfect vehicle for that which is slightly beyond life.
flee interested life suppose
I suppose I flee to life. I'm most interested when conversations become difficult.

I feel like a 16-year-old trapped inside a dead woman's body.
I don't ever want to do stuff just for the sake of it.
I can do a little bit of comedy. I can be in an in-between place, where I can do a little bit.
I am not stupid - I'm not young, and I'm not beautiful.

Families are families. We've all got them, more or less, and we all know what it's like to be bullied by another generation.
Families always stay the same, but they always provide more stories.
