I am a person whose father had no religion but who went to the nuns for a couple of years. And I think I'm the same: On one hand, I pray; on the other hand, I don't believe. I am constantly between the two.

Where there is age there is evolution, where there is life there is growth.

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.

I was always reticent about taking offerings from my father, and I think it was maybe because I felt the caveat was that I had to give something back, and I didn't like that position. But I've never felt incumbent on anyone to kind of keep them lifted or to support them, necessarily. I do that by wish or by option.

I'm very fond of doing movies where men fight over me. I don't get to do enough.

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.
