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.
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.
Comedy is helping a lot at the moment. It also seems to be getting under Trump's skin and revealing a lot about the kind of thin-skinned fool that he is.
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 was the kid who liked making other people laugh, so maybe the comedy came before the acting.
There are lots of actors, and you need a way to stand out. Writing comedy sketches was a way of doing that.
