I really feel actors should try and do as much diverse work as possible to try and keep it interesting.

I don't know if anyone will ever sit beside me on a plane again.

My only two constants are to challenge myself and to try not to repeat myself.

I like being at home with my music and my books. I’ve done all the partying, I’ve done enough partying for four or five people as a young fella. But now I like the quiet life.

I personally think if something's not a challenge there's no point doing it because you're not gonna learn much.

I'm terrible. I'm the wrong person to talk to, I really don't know a thing.

I will always love film, the romance of film, sitting in the darkened room with strangers and watching a story for two hours - that will always remain and never be eroded by television.

I was obsessed with Batman as a kid. I did the film in part just to be near the Batmobile. But I also think [director] Christopher Nolan made a very fine, intelligent film.

You know, I'm a skinny Irish guy.

I don't have a burning passion to live in America per se but I would certainly like to work there.

If you behave like a celebrity, then people will treat you like a celebrity, and if you don't, they won't. There's not much to write about me in the tabloids.

One of the greatest statements you can ever make on earth is to say “I am right, but I may be wrong”. Find out where you go wrong and make corrections!

Dedicate some of your life to others. Your dedication will not be a sacrifice. It will be an exhilarating experience because it is an intense effort applied toward a meaningful end.

Each moment in time we have it all even when we think we don't.

Harness the fire hidden in The Eucharist to bring about a true brotherhood and unity.

If it is finally accepted that the personality in whole or part survives death - and I believe that it will be - then such a belief will be considered as modern as a belief in spaceships and rockets.

Learning is not the accumulation of knowledge. Learning is movement from moment to moment.

You gotta keep the ball off the fat part of the bat.

I'd learned enough about circuitry in high school electronics to know how to drive a TV and get it to draw - shapes of characters and things.

Don't fear the unknown. Embrace the opportunity. Failure is not permanent it is the essence of learning.
