I still have a reputation as an eccentric. But the fact is that audiences probably mix up my roles with me as a person.

Realism is always subjective in film. There's no such thing as cinema verite.

But there's a difference between having artistic interests and being psychotic. That's more than a fine line of differentiation, and I do see that a bit too much.

Eccentric doesn't bother me. 'Eccentric' being a poetic interpretation of a mathematical term meaning something that doesn't follow the lines - that's okay.

My cat can eat a whole watermelon.

A geek by definition is somebody who eats live animals. I?ve never eaten live animals.

As soon as anybody puts anything on film, it automatically has a point of view, and it's somebody else's point of view, and it's impossible for it to be yours.

Ireland's just a place...people go there all the time.

As an actor, I trust my ear.

There is nothing wrong with what he said or she said or they did, even though it does not feel good.

All I know is that I love you. And for the first time, that's good enough.

While success has hardly come overnight for me, it always comes.

The most successful men have used seeming failures as stepping stones to better things.

It was far too absurd to die of a Tuesday

Experiences are like cherry on the cake. It's nice, but that's not what's going to make a difference to the habit.
