I grew up among strong women so I know what it's like to be loved and humiliated in a heartbeat.
Chris O'DowdSuccess is absolutely intoxicating. I've seen people behave in ways that seem very far from how they would behave normally.

Now I realise how stupid that is - and it's because comic acting isn't taken seriously enough. It's a discipline. You know instantly - either you're funny and getting the laughs, or you're not.
Chris O'DowdI'd like to think that I'm getting slightly more mature as time goes on, but I don't know if my fiancee would necessarily agree.
Chris O'DowdFor most of my life, I've been, โHey, 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!โ
Chris O'DowdI'm never overawed by a situation and I think that's because I've always looked several years older than I am. So because people were treating me like I was 40 when I was 29, I've always felt in control of a situation. People used to say, when you're 32, you'll look 32. I'm still waiting for that moment, where my age catches up with my appearance.
