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.

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.

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

I play very sweet characters, so people look at me like I'm the kid from 'The Wonder Years,' rather than Brad Pitt.

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

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

Sometimes films about oppression or suppression can be quite maudlin and quite dour. Sometimes you need a little sugar with the medicine and I think of myself as the little sugar.
