Not being able to work would make me very unhappy.

I need something to do when I'm not working, or I crawl up the walls. So I've just taken up kung fu. I was looking for some kind of calming, relaxing activity. I tried yoga, but it wasn't really me.

Even before my audition, there were several pages missing from my script because those bits were so unbelievably secret not even I was allowed to see them.

My philosophy was, if I just do good work, someone will like it enough to employ me. It never made me famous. And I'm way, way too old now, mate. That boat's sailed.

I'm still working, I've got two arms, two legs, two gorgeous kids, a lovely wife. Fifteen years ago, I was homeless. So when you think about it, I'm lucky.

I'm belligerent rather than ambitious.

I hate auditions - when I'm doing them, I can't wait to get out the bleeding door.

It's not any desire on my part to start playing dads, but it's a convention of drama. If you don't get the parts of young people going out to nightclubs, you have to play their fathers.

When you get to 15 and most of your teachers are priests, there's bound to be a conflict.

That's what I like about Neil Jordan's films: everyone is better at what they do than you are.

I just want to be rich and famous.

When you love with your heart and soul, then you long and belong. How could there be a separation?

Nothing, absolutely nothing, happens 'till parents stop clenching their fists around precious things and people, let go, & trust God!

I think in every lesson there's a blessing, and there's so many blessings from all the lessons I've had to go through in life.

Jesus is interested in changing cultures, not just putting bodies in chairs.

All things in this world must be seen with youthful, hopeful eyes.

Your garden will reveal yourself.

Every man must some time or other be trusted to himself.

I have less to do with 'The Simpsons' every season, but I stick my nose in here and there. Basically, it's just trying to keep the characters consistent and making sure the show has a soul.

Is a novel anything but a trap set for a hero?

The breath Of accusation kills an innocent name, And leaves for lame acquittal the poor life, Which is a mask without it.
