thinking people quality
I think there's something in the fact that it's hard to be good looking and funny. You have to have an oddball quality; people have to sympathise with you to find you funny.
country want harm
I definitely want to keep working in Ireland, and without being too worthy about it, if it's possible to bring work into the country, that's no harm.
mind want fats
I don't mind being slightly fat-ish, I just don't want to be fat.
men thinking ideas
I don't think the public here buy this idea that women and men speak different comedic languages.
dream stupid taken
When I was a kid, I wanted to be serious, like Daniel Day-Lewis. No one really dreams of being a comic actor, do they? Now I realise how stupid that is - and it's because comic acting isn't taken seriously enough. It's a discipline. You know instantly - either you're funny and getting the laughs, or you're not.
inspiration people would-be
I would be nothing if it wasn't for the town where I grew up and the people who gave me my inspiration.
thinking forever care
I think I'm going to keep my Irish accent forever now in any movie I make, because chicks dig it and that's all I care about now!
sweet character kids
I play very sweet characters, so people look at me like I'm the kid from 'The Wonder Years,' rather than Brad Pitt.
kids streets walking
I often talk to myself while walking down the street. I did it as a kid.
party inches showbiz
I never go to these showbiz parties. I avoid them with a 10-inch pole.
uncles mean kids
I mean, I'm an uncle of seven or eight, and I don't mind it at all! Kids are great. Kids are the best six-hour experience you can have!
tired boring written
I just am so tired of really badly written women. It's so boring.
house grew grew-up
I grew up in a house of forthright women.
strong-women heartbeat grew
I grew up among strong women so I know what it's like to be loved and humiliated in a heartbeat.
