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

Put it this way: singing is not my day job.

I think there's something in the fact that it's hard to be good looking and funny. You have to have an oddball quality; people have to sympathise with you to find you funny.

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.

I guess I'm an atheist. But I would say I have very good relationships with the priests that I grew up with. I was an altar boy growing up, and the men of God in my life have always been really lovely, intelligent, well-informed, kind men. So I feel very loyal to their beliefs as much as anything else.

I grew up among strong women so I know what it's like to be loved and humiliated in a heartbeat.

I come from a musical kind of family.
