INTERVIEWER: Are you talented or lucky? O’DOWD: There must be an element of both, but at the moment, I just feel lucky. I was on the way back from set with Maya Rudolph in the car recently and I started singing “Lovin’ You” by Minnie Riperton. Maya said: “Oh, that’s so sweet,” and I said: “Well, it is such a lovely song.” She said: “Oh, I thought you were doing it for me – my mum sang that song.” I had no idea her mum was Minnie Riperton. Now Maya thinks I’m sweet and was singing a tribute to her mum! That’s how I see my career of late: a series of happy, accidental kindnesses from strangers.
