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.

The bottom line is that female writers aren't being given enough opportunities by male producers.

I never go to these showbiz parties. I avoid them with a 10-inch pole.

I get asked all the time if I want to do more dramatic acting, and I really doubt that dramatic actors get asked if they want to do more comedies. I don't really know why that is.

L.A. is fun, but it feels like one of those towns in the north of Scotland where there's an oil rig just off the coast and whether or not you work for the oil rig, everyone is connected to it.

What I think improv is great for is making dialogue more natural.

I think I'm going to keep my Irish accent forever now in any movie I make, because chicks dig it and that's all I care about now!
