I am very fortunate to have a career. I always have to act. I don't know if I'll have a career to support it for the rest of my life, but I know I'll always act.

I still sweat bullets if I go on The Tonight Show, but I tell myself, You can either have fun tonight or you can be shy and miserable. You ask my friends or anyone I work with now - nobody would say I was shy.

I'm not afraid to look like a fool - and I think when you're not afraid, you never do.

You can get through your whole day only around people who will tell you that you're wonderful. But pretty soon they're going to have to be lying about that.

But I know somebody who has a bedside urinal. How do I compete with that?

That's what the holidays are for - for one person to tell the stories and another to dispute them. Isn't that the Irish way?

Have I seen The Commitments? I was obsessed with that movie. I just watched it again about two weeks ago.
