6. What do your parents/children (delete as applicable) think of your job?

I'm emotionally asleep at the foot of my parents bed and they are very proud!

7. What’s the worst thing about being a comedian?

Being constantly stopped at the grocery store/bank, etc. Getting gifts that are wrapped too tightly. Mostly just having to deal with opening gifts, etc.

8. I think you are very good at what you do (that’s why I’m asking these questions). What do you think of you?

I think I'm pretty down to earth for a character actress!

9. How much do you earn and how much would you like to earn?

I don't accept traditional modes of currency for my work. I accept baskets-- got 12 last year, am hoping for 15 this year.

10. How important is luck in terms of career success – have you had lucky breaks?

Lorne spotted me at a Farmer's Market once and the rest was history.

11. Alan Davies has said that comedians fall into two categories - golfers and self-harmers. The former just get on with life, the latter are tortured artists. Which are you – or do you think you fit into a third category?

Crosseyed golfer.

12. Who is your favourite person ever and why – not including family or friends or other comedians?

Kim Gordon

13. Do you keep your drawers tidy and if not why not? (this is to settle an argument with my girlfriend. If you've taken my side thank you in advance)

They're an immaculate crime scene.
