That was the beginning of modern acting for me. You don't have to tell a camera everything. It gets bored if you do and wants to look elsewhere.

I think great art is always ambiguous and can't be pinned down.

People ask me to smile for the camera, but somehow it always comes out gloomy.

I have never been to a brothel. I don't think I could go into one.

I am afraid of death, scared by it. I already don't know whether I exist or not. So dying really terrifies me.

People often refer to my career before The Crying Game as something which led up to that point. But I was very fulfilled in what I was doing.

The worst thing for an actor is a director that gets on your nerves and says things that actually confuse you.

I didn't want to be seen as just a guy on a list. I'm interested in good scripts, scripts that are about something, scripts that move your acting along.

At least when you're acting you can be someone. In front of the camera you have to be yourself. And who am I?

Angel was the first Irish feature film. Neil's first movie and my first movie.

I believe some people in this business suffer from fame because they behave in a famous fashion.

Quite often you look for answers and strength in friends (supposed 2b) around you, without realizing All the true strength and honest answers come from within!!!

Acceptance doesn’t mean that life gets better

Parenting is no sport for perfectionists.

Abstract anger is great for rhetorical carrying on. You can go on endlessly about the post office, but it doesn't mean you're mad at your mailman.

I escaped to New York, and then L.A., but when I dream of home, I still dream of my old house in Holmdel.

I have a friend that has five kids and she went through a trial separation with her husband, and she didn't have time to be upset. Every now and then, she'd call me on the cell phone and just cry.

I recently had to wait two and a half hours in a doctor's office, just waiting to be seen. I literally was genuinely thinking 'Well, maybe this is a time loop.'

Remove the emotional and physical clutter from your life so you can soar.

Those jobs flee other states because of factors like excessive taxation, punitive regulation and frivolous lawsuits.

it's impossible I should have a mind and I have one
