“People have told me I've got no filter or I'm a bit of an over-sharer.”
“Most of what I like doing in performing is connecting with an audience. What's the point of doing standup if you're not doing that?”
“Being a comedian, all the stress is there in the moment of doing it. The rest of it is mint: you hang out with your mates, go to the arcades, go to the cinema in the daytime, it's like being a teenager all the time.”
“Either I'm going to be like an MGM starlet - get married five times, it will be a bit of a laugh - or I will get pregnant, by accident, with someone I barely know. We'll get through it. They'll be a great co-parent. We definitely won't end up together.”
“I like silly photos of me, looking stupid.”
“The fact that I went back to New Zealand, a country where you are legally allowed to date, and I couldn't manage to get one - I was like, I'm done with this country. I'm fleeing back to London.”
“Comedy is quite hard and it takes like a decade to figure out what kind of comedian you are, so don't quit.”
“I literally tried to get one date in five months in Auckland, and I couldn't. Auckland is quite small, so you know everyone, and everyone in Auckland has a partner already, so there's nobody to date.”
“Part of making a relationship work is compromise and I think the idea of compromise in relationships is something that we lack in my generation.”
“I'm a fan of classic romance films as well as screwball comedies. I think love stories are just compelling narratives.”
“I wear sneakers all the time. Well, I can't fit any girls' shoes. I've got big feet.”
“I wouldn't say I always have the talent to do something - I think I definitely probably have a moderate amount of talent - but I can pretend to have confidence or, I guess, charisma... It's so hard to look at myself like that.”
