doubt acting actors
I get asked all the time if I want to do more dramatic acting, and I really doubt that dramatic actors get asked if they want to do more comedies. I don't really know why that is.
thinking actors hey
Hey, I think comic actors are the best actors.
actresses going-out actors
Going out with other actors is never good; actresses are neurotic, and actors are horrendous egotists.
Louis C. K. makes me laugh, I must say.
coast connected feels north rig scotland towns whether work
L.A. is fun, but it feels like one of those towns in the north of Scotland where there's an oil rig just off the coast and whether or not you work for the oil rig, everyone is connected to it.
hot hot-mess mess
I never thought I'd refer to myself as a hot mess.
new-york dad thinking
I like the idea of people having romantic tendencies towards a place they don't know that well. I think it's great. Why not? My dad's view of New York is very similar to Americans' when they talk about Ireland.
sandwiches soup sound
The cauliflower soup sounds so good. And the broccoli-melt sandwich. I've never heard of such a thing.
thinking medicine littles
Sometimes films about oppression or suppression can be quite maudlin and quite dour. Sometimes you need a little sugar with the medicine and I think of myself as the little sugar.
atheist growing-up intelligent
I guess I'm an atheist. But I would say I have very good relationships with the priests that I grew up with. I was an altar boy growing up, and the men of God in my life have always been really lovely, intelligent, well-informed, kind men. So I feel very loyal to their beliefs as much as anything else.
stupid people world
People in England talk about stupid Hollywood idiots, but the industry attracts some of the cleverest people in the world.
atmosphere friendly comedy
In comedy it helps if there's a friendly atmosphere on the set.
scripts different three
I'm probably working on three different scripts at any time, so there's never a time where I've got nothing to do.
thinking want spoons
I'm more like a spoon symbol. I think women just want to spoon me.
