I believe some people in this business suffer from fame because they behave in a famous fashion.

I think great art is always ambiguous and can't be pinned down.

People ask me to smile for the camera, but somehow it always comes out gloomy.

I have never been to a brothel. I don't think I could go into one.

I am afraid of death, scared by it. I already don't know whether I exist or not. So dying really terrifies me.

People often refer to my career before The Crying Game as something which led up to that point. But I was very fulfilled in what I was doing.

That was the beginning of modern acting for me. You don't have to tell a camera everything. It gets bored if you do and wants to look elsewhere.

The worst thing for an actor is a director that gets on your nerves and says things that actually confuse you.

I didn't want to be seen as just a guy on a list. I'm interested in good scripts, scripts that are about something, scripts that move your acting along.

At least when you're acting you can be someone. In front of the camera you have to be yourself. And who am I?

Angel was the first Irish feature film. Neil's first movie and my first movie.

Emergency dance party--go away.

Every second of time is a doorway to unbounded possibilities. Yet if you are not open to them, these possibilities shrink.

Morning is wonderful. Its only drawback is that it comes at such an inconvenient time of day.

A soul exasperated in ills, falls out With everything, its friend, itself.

Location work has its charms, and can seem glamorous on the outside, but I think living at home and having the stability of a home life once you've finished work is very underrated!

My hand trembles, my heart does not.
