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.

The terrible thing about acting is the stops and starts.

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.

Of course drugs were fun. And that's what's so stupid about anti-drug campaigns; they don't admit that. I can't say I feel particularly scarred or lessened by my experimentation with drugs. They've gotten a very bad name.

Oh, all kinds of lunacy happens in Ireland, all kinds of lunacy.

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.
