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.

All of this talk of recession offends me. I am delighted that bankers have less money.

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

I feel like I need to start wearing a T-shirt saying 'This is not a photo opportunity'. People are so lovely but you do find that when you're out you spend 40% of your time posing for photographs.

I definitely enjoy an audience, when I'm performing. As I get older I'm kind of less comfortable at being demonstrative. I always fancied myself as a raconteur, but that never really worked out.

Social media is great, I guess, but it feels like technology is the sapper of innocence.

When I say I hate nostalgia, I hate things set in the recent past where everything is shiny and new.
