Quotes from Paddy McGuinness

I'm just a simple man from Bolton but I think we should use more natural sources.

It's very, very, very, very difficult, you know any parent with children with any kind of special needs is very difficult.

I think the charm that 'Take Me Out' has, is that your mum and dad can watch, understand and enjoy it, students can understand it and you can watch it with your friends.

Basically i've done a few podcasts one is 'Prepare for the Unexpected' which is a guide to my life and how I deal with things and I've also done a 'Guide to Surving the Summer Festivals' too.

There's nothing nicer than hearing people laughing.

Even when you're right in the middle of a tour and you've done 30 or 40 shows, you still get them butterflies in the stomach right before you go on stage.

A lot of my new material is about being a dad for the first time, about how amazing and stressful it is to be a parent. But don't worry, you will still laugh if you have never had kids.

I mean, I'm always optimistic about most things I do and never bank my hopes on anything, but I got what 'Take Me Out' was right from the word go.

I was just like that anyhow - wherever I used to work, jobs-wise, I'd always be in the canteen talking to people and laughing and everything.
