I definitely want to keep working in Ireland, and without being too worthy about it, if it's possible to bring work into the country, that's no harm.

Comedy writing is taking the brief thought and going with it.

In comedy it helps if there's a friendly atmosphere on the set.

Sometimes films about oppression or suppression can be quite maudlin and quite dour. Sometimes you need a little sugar with the medicine and I think of myself as the little sugar.

I'm probably working on three different scripts at any time, so there's never a time where I've got nothing to do.

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.

For some reason, I find that in the course of my career I've worked with more women than most men have.
