In my experience it's not essential to get on with the person that you're acting opposite.

Well, fluffy shirts are, by definition, very comfortable.

But one of the most fantastic things about Ireland and Dublin is that the pubs are like Paris and the cafe culture. And Dublin, in many ways, is a pub culture.

Acting is not very good for relationships - but very good for when they are over.

I knew I wanted to be an actor when I was growing up, really. So when I decided to go to university instead of drama school, it was with the intention of becoming an actor afterwards.

I'm fortunate in that I don't think I've ever fallen in love with somebody who hasn't fallen in love with me. I actually think it's quite rare that that happens, in a true way.

In real life, I try to be honest but not overshare. There are people that turn every conversation into a therapy session and you want to start charging them.

I think that women don't bother disguising their desire and pleasure in dressing up, and that men, for whatever reason, tend to be a little more embarrassed.

Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser.

History shows that where ethics and economics come in conflict, victory is always with economics.

My side ain't chosen. My side was given.

If you start painting yourself into a corner, life starts shutting down. There is always hopefully a next.

Get up sucker and fight. Get up and fight

If you have to talk to more than three people about the same problem, you don't want help, you want attention.

The imagination is both interpretative and creative in nature.

Cleverness becomes a public nuisance.

Nobody ever told me, I found out for myself, You gotta believe in foolish miracles, it's not how you play the game, it's if you win or lose, you can choose, don't confuse, win or lose.
