We are meeting in a room at The Corinthia Hotel; Comer breezes in, dressed in a silk pinstripe shirt and chinos. She kicks off her shoes and folds herself into a chair opposite me. She is taller than I expected with the glowing complexion of a well-rested woman, despite the fact that this must be her 50th interview of the day.
