It's always nice to be challenged.

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.

I will tell you in another life when we are both cats.

If I were to remain silent, I'd be guilty of complicity.

There's no such thing as quitting. Just sometimes there's a longer pause between relapses.

The way to stop political correctness is to not do it. If someone says, You offended me then you say I don't care! If they're offended by the truth, that's their issue!

I would have to take some kind of revenge if my girlfriend had been aggressed, my mother had been aggressed, or my kids had been aggressed. I think I would go for personal revenge.

New York is a lovely city. It is an easy city to go back to and an easy city to leave. Every time I go there I immediately make travel plans.

You have to put your character to rest after x amount of years.

I think the set looks great. It's kind of like Battlestar Galactica meets like the Italian furniture fair.

Men come, men go, all things remain in God.

Whoever hath a seed time of grace pass over his soul, shall have his harvest time also of joy.
