I grew up in Manchester in a big Irish family - there are seven of us in all - so my life has always been about role-playing, about doing anything for a laugh. I'm always joking about; that's the way I am.

Children are so precious.

Yes, I adore the fact that girls like me.

I've always wanted to act.

I don't see the point in being bitter.

I love a challenge, and I think it's when people least expect you to do something that you often do your best.

You judge people as you meet them.
