Being Irish is very much a part of who I am. I take it everywhere with me.

Initially, less appealing to me than the idea of a vampire that is drawn by some misgiving or drawn by some sense of longing that he can't quite satiate.

Allow your head to be quiet. Allow it to be still. Just for an hour and half. Just deal with your body & your breath.

I don't go to the gym or practice yoga. And the closest thing I have to a nutritionist is the Carlsberg Beer Company. I just have the appetite of a pigeon.

I do have the ability to explore life and to be over the moon at the smallest thing - a few pints and a craic in the pub and I'm in heaven. But I have a melancholy side to me as well. Acting allows me to feel things, it kind of buys me human experience. And I don't mean this as acting as higher cause, because it's not, but it does kind of have a higher awareness emotionally.

I'll try anything. I'll do anything. I'll explore. Try different takes.

I love the grandiosity, how sweepingly entertaining films can be. And I think there's a place for films that pry more into the human condition.
