I've had the pleasure and the great luck to work with some incredible actors over the years and you have to observe and learn and take something from it and try and become better yourself.

I'm terrible. I'm the wrong person to talk to, I really don't know a thing.

There's this thing that's come about that wasn't there when I started acting which is they do this thing called a chemistry test. They put a camera in front of two people, it's usually a boy and a girl, and they go, [whispering]. It's impossible. You can't manufacture it or film it, it just has to happen.

I'm not interested in a good man's life. I'm interested in contradiction.

Every Irish person of my generation and earlier, we were raised Catholic and we'd have to learn it in school, we'd to learn the catechism by rote.

I don't think they'd ever make a movie about Chuck Baker but I'd love to play Chuck Baker

I’ve never done a film for the money
