The fame thing has happened very gradually, so I've been kind of lucky.

I cook rarely, but I've kind of got two or three dishes that I stick to. I do a great sweet potato and lentil curry.

So all the rest is O.K., but fame is a hollow ground, isn't it? It's an empty kind of thing.

I've mostly been a happy-go-lucky kind of guy.

I've always been conscious of the fact that there aren't enough Irish voices on British television compared to the amount of Irish people who live there.

I've been very lucky.
