KEY TAKEAWAYS
BEST MOMENTS
"I often think of the stuff on the wall as being like my sort of holiday photos, which is that they remind me a bit of my own kind of journey."
"I want to write something that I think lots of people are going to read and I want those people to find it and love it."
"Be your authentic self, if you're going to fail, fail on your own terms and at least believe in the stuff that you're making."
"You can't make comedy without enjoying yourself. It's like you don't know whether a joke's funny unless you're laughing at it or not."
"Your job very often is to articulate the big stages and let other people look after the detail."
"I think what I've kind of learned is...you can be really risqué with things if you do it in the right way and with real confidence."
