Comedians... they're different from actors. There's more ego there. They create the whole thing, I guess, so they're more precious.

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 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.
