I have my television, my books and that becomes my little world.

Some people had fathers who were bankers or farmers, my father made films, that's how I saw it. As for the movie stars, they were just around, some of them were friends, others weren't, it was all just a part of my everyday life.

I like it when you read a script and there's the part that you show to the other characters and then there's the part that only the audience knows.

Age is not enviable in America. It's not applauded all that strongly. You have to take it all with a grain of salt.

Going back to Ireland involves at least six to seven emotional breakdowns for me per day.

I do like the ocean wave, actually. I'm born under the sign of Cancer - the sign of the crab - so I like coastal areas and sunny beaches and such - although not the wide-open and deep seas.

I don't think it's necessarily healthy to go into relationships as a needy person. Better to go in with a full deck.
