Hackney Gets A Bit Of A Bad

I Think That There's An Idea In 2016 That If A Woman Doesn't Have It All Then She's Lacking In Some Way, And I Think That 'having It All' Is The Kid, The Relationship And The Career, And That Seems Horribly Skewed. I Get Genuinely Excited When I Meet Women - Or Men - Who Don't Want To Have Children. It's Refreshing And Unusual And Means They're Not Swayed By What Society Has Told Them, They're Just Listening To Their Own Basic Instincts. I Love Meeting People Who Are Fulfilled By Other Things. I Think, 'lucky Old You' When I Meet Someone Single.

I Think The Best Comedy Is Tragicomic. Yeah, I Suppose If You Were To Look At Everything I've Done, There Is A Bit Of A Black Streak Through All Of It. It's Not Deliberate: It's What Makes Me Laugh, And There's A Fine Tradition Of It, Especially In Ireland.

Hackney Gets A Bit Of A Bad Rap, But It's The Only Place I've Ever Lived That Felt Like A Community. I Know My Neighbours.

Comedians... They're Different From Actors. There's More Ego There. They Create The Whole Thing, I Guess, So They're More Precious.

You've Only Got A Short Shelf-life As An Actor, And I Want To Make The Most Of It While I Can.
