I'd always wanted to act, but it was a question of whether acting wanted me and whether the movies wanted me.

There have been times when I wanted children and other times I've been grateful not to have them. I am a mess if I have to say goodbye to my dog for longer than five days. I don't know how I would deal with kissing my children as I left for work. I know there are women who are able to do that. I don't know if I could.

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

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

My biggest ambition is never to be bored. I'm not aggressive enough to strongly run after being an actress.

Of course drugs were fun.

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.
