I think that there's an idea in 2016 that if a woman doesn't have it all then she's lacking in some way, and I think that 'having it all' is the kid, the relationship and the career, and that seems horribly skewed.

Comedians... they're different from actors. There's more ego there. They create the whole thing, I guess, so they're more precious. - Sharon Horgan
