I see the portrayal of any believable female character as feminist.

If you go into the mainstream with a female perspective that seems to resonate with a lot of people, you have a political agenda imposed on you: you are told that you are a feminist.

You don't often see a cross section of female characters interacting with each other at the top of a chain.

Every single performance of 'Fleabag,' I would learn so much from the audience reaction or how you could change it all the time, and I loved that sense that the performance is ever-growing and changing and could be affected by the audience.

Comedy is very hard, but you have to learn the art and science of it.

In life, comedy occurs naturally, as it should, in the most appalling of circumstances.

I love being in these ensemble comedy movies. I love working with a bunch of people and coming up with, you know, How can we make this moment funnier?

My family is pretty funny. My mother is British, so she's got a very dry sense of humor. That's where I got that from.
