I have no proper money to invest!

Acting is very much an all-or-nothing job.

You worry about whether you are match-fit, coming back to the stand-up stage.

I don't like doing things by halves, and I realised you can't do stand-up comedy part-time.

I don't particularly want to work with my husband all the time, as in the living and the working thing.

I can make my living out of Ireland, but the reason I came to London was that I felt I'd gone as far as I could go in Ireland.

I am pretty much as you see me. I don't have deep, dark depths and go home in despair.

I could probably die happy with a cheeseboard and a glass of French red wine - that's my idea of a perfect dinner.

I get a good colour in summer but go really pale in winter, and it genuinely doesn't suit me, as people ask me if I'm ill. As well as making me look a bit better, I often have to be tanned in the middle of winter to do a show or programme, so I've road-tested every fake tan on the market.

I love peppermint tea, as it's much nicer than taking anything chemical for settling your stomach.
