I'm not particularly a career-oriented guy. I'm lucky. I can make really interesting films much of the time with interesting people yet be anonymous, have a private life. But, I'd like to have the choice of the better roles.

Baseball should be the only thing on an eight year old boy's mind.

Money is just something to be circulated.

I'd wear clogs, short pants and ladies' bracelets. I created this aura for myself.

I would love, more than anything, to do an out-and-out farce with huge physical energy. Just because you're from the minimalist school, it doesn't mean you can't go big.

Really, most of us just focus on what's in front of us. We're too busy putting out the fires of everyday life.

I think there's a down-to-earthness with Midwesterners and with people from the Midlands - which is where my family is from - in Ireland.
