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.
From Sharon Horgan
I'll cry anywhere because I can do it quite subtly. Walking, that's a good time to have a cry.
You feel you can pretend to be young until you're 50, but after that, what happens and how do you approach it?
Comedians... they're different from actors. There's more ego there. They create the whole thing, I guess, so they're more precious.
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.
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.
I was the kid who liked making other people laugh, so maybe the comedy came before the acting.
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.
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.
Personally, my twenties were a complete waste of time. Professionally, I hope some good came of them.
