A guy who's actually self destructive is quite fun to play.

For some reason, I find that in the course of my career I've worked with more women than most men have.

I think I'm going to keep my Irish accent forever now in any movie I make, because chicks dig it and that's all I care about now!

I've always been conscious of the fact that there aren't enough Irish voices on British television compared to the amount of Irish people who live there.

I'm a huge, huge believer in love. Huge!

Sometimes films about oppression or suppression can be quite maudlin and quite dour. Sometimes you need a little sugar with the medicine and I think of myself as the little sugar.

The fame thing has happened very gradually, so I've been kind of lucky.
