I'm particularly touched that teenagers identify with my silliness. It makes my life when I meet a young person who's been cheered by the show and feels they've the right to be more themselves. That mandate for my work is truly special. Show less «

When I wrote the show, I didn't have anyone in mind to play the parts - apart from the naturally beautiful actress who plays Miranda, of course. But wow, I couldn't have got luckier. We've genuinely become the best of friends. I even holiday with Sarah (Sarah Hadland). We all share a love of the silly, of Strictly Come Dancing (2004), of dogs, of food, and all believe that breaking wind is never not funny. Show less «

It's a vicious circle. If you feel hideous, you convey it to people. A couple of male friends from university have said, 'I quite fancied you, but I wouldn't have dared...' and I was like, oh really? I was completely amazed that anyone had ever fancied me, and also that I'd obviously given an impression of 'Don't touch me'. Show less «

I will remain shocked until the end of my days that my sitcom (Miranda (2009)) ended up being popular - and being watched. It's not something you really imagine. I hope they will always be fans and won't desert me now the show is over! Show less «

The director Juliet May is a close friend (also Strictly obsessed), as are producers Emma Strain and Jo Sargent, and floor manager Julie Sykes. When we all get together (forgive the potential naffness), it's truly special. They've all looked after my creative baby. It's rare to get such a tight-knit group. We're just going to have to work together on everything else. It will have to be contractual. Show less «

[on Miranda (2009)] We rehearse for three days and there isn't much room for mucking about, but usually someone gets the giggles at something off the cuff - worryingly often nothing to do with the scripts. Show less «
