I'm a quitter. I come from a long line of quitters. It's amazing I'm here at all.
Tequila? It's not even a drink. It's a way for having the cops around without using a phone.
Have I had therapy? I went to a yoga class once.
Stand-up came naturally to me because people in Ireland talk. But that's not talking on panel shows; it is structured fun. It reminds me of some tragic aunt clapping her hands and bouncing into a room and announcing we should all play games... and if we don't we are all a rotten spoilsport.
Maybe this is just me, but as time goes by, I'm more bewildered by modernity. It gets more unfathomable with every passing year.
I'm just trying to understand what's around me as much as anyone else is, really. To draw a bead on a moving target.
In the same way, there is some creature gnawing away inside of me, urging me to do things in different ways.
You can't please everyone, nor should you seek to, because then you won't please anyone, least of all yourself.
I think that women just have a primeval instinct to make soup, which they will try to foist on anybody who looks like a likely candidate.
I have a very low level of recognition, which is fine by me.
I don't want to do the same thing over and over again.
Do your own thing. Speak in your voice.
Children are the most honest critics. They will say 'You're funny', but also 'You're pathetic - go away.'
The truth is that I'm constitutionally incapable of doing an ordinary job.
