Are you kidding me, he's f***ing hilarious!' And I go, 'Well... Because it really is, it's what you call Marmite, that's what it is and people either love it or they f***ing hate it.
Asked if it was snobbery that led to critics and some comedy fans laying into him and his work, he added: "I always remember the year we made Mrs Brown D'Movie, that year - and I have up on the fridge - it held the record as the highest grossed opening of any Irish movie, and it was so far ahead that it was double what the next one was, which was Michael Collins - it was double the figures of Michael Collins.
"It must be frustrating for people. Audience-wise, again, I don't understand. I've never gone online or given a quote to say that I thought something was f***ing awful. Never. Because why would you bother? But I have gone on to say, 'Oh I love that, that is really f***ing good'.
