Chris O'Dowd quotes about
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!
opportunity female lines
The bottom line is that female writers aren't being given enough opportunities by male producers.
opportunity people lovely
I feel like I need to start wearing a T-shirt saying 'This is not a photo opportunity'. People are so lovely but you do find that when you're out you spend 40% of your time posing for photographs.
technology media sappers
Social media is great, I guess, but it feels like technology is the sapper of innocence.
musical kind
I come from a musical kind of family.
actresses going-out actors
Going out with other actors is never good; actresses are neurotic, and actors are horrendous egotists.
creative want buzz
Being at the genesis of the creative process is definitely something I want to keep doing. It's just such a great buzz.
who-i-am bridesmaids knows
After 'Bridesmaids,' women know who I am.
mind want fats
I don't mind being slightly fat-ish, I just don't want to be fat.
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.
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.
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.
