I'm just basking in the glory.

Coal mining is tough. Acting is just tedious.

I just love that spirit that makes people do things that they probably shouldn't.

You can tell it's good if you light it and a blue flame comes up; that means it's good moonshine and it won't make you go blind.

I pretty much operate on adrenaline and ignorance.

You were about five feet short of a ten feet jump?

I'm so uncoordinated, I can't really do that much, so my specialty is standing in one spot or holding on to something, like an exploding rocket or a jetski.

Being a complete juvenile delinquent helped me grow up a little.

I don't remember the first stunt I ever did.

Doctors have told me I have a high pain threshold, but I can only know what I feel. I think I'm good at minimising the pain and being indifferent to it.

I'm lucky enough to be with someone, and I am happy.

Don't you believe that the punishment should fit the crime? Isn't that what justice is? Letely, though, I wonder if we've gotten more into vengenance than justice.

People need to realise what real happiness and success is, because success as an actor is fleeting. You can be up there one day and gone the next.

The day will dawn when all the people of Ireland will have the desire for freedom to show. It is then we'll see the rising of the moon.

I'm pretty sure no one's reading action scripts saying, 'This has got to be Ed Helms.'

Meryl Streep does things I would never have thought possible... Her presence on screen is outstanding.

I have to win this now, and for all time, or I’ll fight it every day and it will get worse and worse.

Learn always but never appear to be learning.

Of course, we all need to have basic necessities met, such as good health care, good food, good education and good housing. But what is good? Having too much is bad, as having too little is also bad.

I liked work shoes and big, working-class hands. The stars would come and go, but the crew on my movies was my extended family.

The women in my family - my grandmother and my mother - have been both sources of comfort and terror. Protection was not always available.
