Deirdre O'Kane Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Deirdre O'Kane:

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

With a new baby, you have a bad day now and again because you're particularly tired, but most of the time, you're fine. You spend a lot of your time trying to figure out how you can get more sleep, but really, you're better off just giving up and admitting that you're not going to, so forget about it.

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

I spent seven years in clubs in England, Australia, etc. Not all comedians cross over to sell out in a theatre.

One day I got an invite to help the Christina Noble Foundation, and by this stage, I'd already been talking about her for 10 years. I said 'yes' right away, and that was the first time I met her.

I have never, ever slept through my child crying unless I have had a sleeping tablet; and I only take a sleeping tablet when I know Steve, my husband, is on duty. We take turns: he does one night, I do the next.

Yves Saint Laurent will never go out of business so long as I'm buying mountains of Touche Eclat.

I'm doing my best to be mindful about how I'm living: to be kind and patient, and not to impose a bad mood on somebody else. Being mindful is as good a way to be spiritual as anything else.

The notion that patience is a virtue is something you don't fully appreciate until you're a parent. You need endless patience with little ones.

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

You wouldn't expect a cattle dealer to sit down at a grand piano and play it beautifully. That's my father.

It wasn't that I left acting; it's just that I put it aside while I set about becoming a comic.

There's a lot I've missed about living in Ireland. You miss family, particularly when you've got kids.

Deirdre O'Kane

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 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.

Deirdre O'Kane

I love motherhood. I certainly wasn't aware of any mothering instincts until I had babies. I wasn't a person who desperately wanted to have kids, but you don't get it until you do it, and, suddenly, this nurturing instinct exists.

I have no proper money to invest!
