I don't think the public here buy this idea that women and men speak different comedic languages.

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.

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 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!

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

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.
