I think for me with theater, I need to take a break and then fall in love with it again. And then go do it again.

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.

Archaeological discoveries made in Egypt and in the Near East in the past hundred years have opened our eyes to a spiritual and cultural heritage undreamed of by earlier generations.

Compassion stands on the pillars of trust, love, awareness and detachment.

I still have a tendency to sit back and wait out the bad things that try and take over my life.

The pressure I put on myself is the only pressure I'm feeling once I get into the game.

Perhaps the most troubling area in the world goes from the Balkans through the Middle East and in Central Asia.

Nietzsche claimed that his genius was in his nostrils and I think that is a very excellent place for it to be.

In later years, during what might be called my gray-outs — when I was conscious but not myself — I craved foods that were almost always fattening.

I just try to be the best Catholic.

Often I feel like I can run forever. If someone told me I had to run for 10 hours, I probably could.

During a very busy life I have often been asked, "How did you manage to do it all?" The answer is very simple. It is because I did everything promptly.
