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.

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.

I would be nothing if it wasn't for the town where I grew up and the people who gave me my inspiration.

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

For most of my life, I've been, ‘Hey, I'm not into it, but I respect your right to believe whatever you want'. But as time goes on, weirdly, I'm growing less liberal. I'm more like, 'No, religion is ruining the world, you need to stop!’

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

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.
