I was lucky in the sense that I was never blessed with an overly reflective nature.

Some people have told me that I'm grumpy; it's not something that I'm aware of. It's not like I walk around poking children in the eye... not very small ones, anyway.

I can't swim. I can't drive, either. I was going to learn to drive but then I thought, well, what if I crash into a lake?

I quite fancy the 1940s. I like the trams and the trousers.

The characters can't be wittier than people are in real life. They have to be character witty.

If you're a comic, you don't have a rehearsal room, you rehearse on stage. My main concern is remembering everything.

I'm Irish, yeah, but I don't need to get up on a soapbox about it.
