I would be nothing if it wasn't for the town where I grew up and the people who gave me my inspiration.

I guess I'm an atheist. But I would say I have very good relationships with the priests that I grew up with. I was an altar boy growing up, and the men of God in my life have always been really lovely, intelligent, well-informed, kind men. So I feel very loyal to their beliefs as much as anything else.

There tends to be a jealousy in England towards countries that are successful.

I grew up among strong women so I know what it's like to be loved and humiliated in a heartbeat.

Going out with other actors is never good; actresses are neurotic, and actors are horrendous egotists.

I definitely want to keep working in Ireland, and without being too worthy about it, if it's possible to bring work into the country, that's no harm.

I don't mind being slightly fat-ish, I just don't want to be fat.
