I'm more like a spoon symbol. I think women just want to spoon me.

I'm never overawed by a situation and I think that's because I've always looked several years older than I am. So because people were treating me like I was 40 when I was 29, I've always felt in control of a situation. People used to say, when you're 32, you'll look 32. I'm still waiting for that moment, where my age catches up with my appearance.

Success is absolutely intoxicating. I've seen people behave in ways that seem very far from how they would behave normally.

I grew up in a house of forthright women.

I don't mind being slightly fat-ish, I just don't want to be fat.

I've always been conscious of the fact that there aren't enough Irish voices on British television compared to the amount of Irish people who live there.

When I was about 13 I realised girls weren't going to kiss me because I was a gigantic, weird looking creature from the depths. I was like 6 ft. aged 11.
