Sometimes my mum is very disapproving of my comedy.

I wasn't an extroverted kid. I was very academic and very introverted.

Up until the age of 12, I went to dog shows every weekend. Mum showed beagles. It's a really competitive and eclectic world filled with characters who wear interesting outfits - similar to 'Toddlers & Tiaras,' but with dogs.

I think I appear very innocent and soft, but I'm actually very dark and edgy. It's a weird dichotomy.

In comedy, it's not the glamorous, beautiful people that are great at comedy. They're either every man or every woman, they're either quite tall and lanky or shorter and fatter or have a big nose. They have something physically about them that makes them into a comic stereotype.

I like to have the stamina to work 16 hours a day. I may eat a lot, but I am very healthy.
