Writing a book is simply something a sitcom actress must do, according to actor and comedian Ellie Kemper.

She is the star of the Netflix series, The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and a fan favourite of the US version of The Office. She has written a memoir, My Squirrel Days which is a light-hearted look back at her journey from primary school to the daunting task of leading a TV show created by Tina Fey. 

She talks to Lynn Freeman about the path her career has taken, playing quirky but endearing characters and staying relentlessly positive in Hollywood.
