I think I still get something from the original broadcaster but I'm certainly not aware of any Netflix van driving to my house and unloading a load of cash into my front yard.
I don't do drugs. If I want a rush I just get out of a chair when I'm not expecting it.
But when you do a film, you have to be prepared to learn a whole different menu.
There was a time when I thought if I see Victoria Beckham's face any more I'm going t forget my 11 times tables because my brain is going to dislodge old information to accommodate the new.
Over the years The Stand have been great about giving me stage time if I need to run new material. The audience is always a great mix of attentive and loud and lively: you get that good listening quality that any good comedy club should have.
I'll work for whoever wants to hire me. Even the jewelry channel.
Its not easy being a man you know. I had to get dressed today and there are other pressures.
I've lived in the UK for longer than I lived in Ireland. I'm not worried about myself, but it's ridiculous for youngsters.
I don't walk around knocking on doors and going to auditions and things generally. All the work I did was self-created.
I dislike both of [candidates] but there's obviously no choice in the election - if you're concerned about the future of anything, you need to vote for Hillary Clinton.
But I suppose I do have a strong fan-base.
The American political machinery is awesome to behold in its scale and expense and waste and madness. It's the greatest circus on Earth I suppose.
I think of myself as a theatre comic instead of club comic because I tend to talk for a bit before I start being funny. I don't really do the one-liners and five second bits or whatever. But it's good to work stuff out sometimes.
People will kill you over time, and how they'll kill you is with tiny, harmless phrases, like 'be realistic.'
