She says: 'When I started the IVF process to have my kids, I immediately started writing down notes for jokes in the airport on the way to the Czech Republic to do the IVF, because I was like, 'I got to make this money back'. And also I wanted to be able to make light of it. 'I think here in this country, we do that so well. We have such a dark sense of humour and we're not afraid to make jokes about darker topics, because it helps us.'
