Chris O'Dowd Quotations

I never thought I'd refer to myself as a hot mess.

I like the idea of people having romantic tendencies towards a place they don't know that well. I think it's great. Why not? My dad's view of New York is very similar to Americans' when they talk about Ireland.

The cauliflower soup sounds so good. And the broccoli-melt sandwich. I've never heard of such a thing.

Sometimes films about oppression or suppression can be quite maudlin and quite dour. Sometimes you need a little sugar with the medicine and I think of myself as the little sugar.

I guess I'm an atheist. But I would say I have very good relationships with the priests that I grew up with. I was an altar boy growing up, and the men of God in my life have always been really lovely, intelligent, well-informed, kind men. So I feel very loyal to their beliefs as much as anything else.

People in England talk about stupid Hollywood idiots, but the industry attracts some of the cleverest people in the world.

In comedy it helps if there's a friendly atmosphere on the set.

I'm probably working on three different scripts at any time, so there's never a time where I've got nothing to do.

I'm more like a spoon symbol. I think women just want to spoon me.

I'm a huge, huge believer in love. Huge!
