Comedy in the past hasn't spoken to women because it wasn't written by women, and male writers don't make women three-dimensional characters.

I had this funny family. At one end, they were breeding dogs in south-east London - for greyhound racing - and at the other, my uncle was living in Downing Street. And I would actually go to Downing Street, which didn't strike me as funny. I'd get on the number 15 bus.

Animals are sentient, intelligent, perceptive, funny and entertaining. We owe them a duty of care as we do to children.

I was trying to do one-liners and it took me years to realise I just had to be myself. My fear was if I was myself and no one found it funny, I'd have nowhere left to go.
