The digital revolution has changed the way we do things because you're not under that pressure that film is precious and film is expensive.

Even in drama, I like to try to find the humor because I think it's very human. Even in the depths of dreadful situations, there's usually something rather comic, or something you can laugh about afterwards, at least.

My old manager of the Irish National Theatre said 'Don't worry about being a star, just worry about being a working actor. Just keep working.' I think that's really good advice.

I kind of have an interest in all history. And I suspect it comes from being Irish - we like stories, we like telling stories, which makes a lot of us lean towards being writers or actors or directors.

A good comedy’s very hard to make, so good comic writing I really enjoy.

I usually read a script from an audience perspective first, and then look more closely at the character only.
