Well, Ive always been a character actor, you know, and you always get your share of character actors who are bad guys.

A good comedy’s very hard to make, so good comic writing I really enjoy.

As an actor, I like to get a bit of momentum going with a character and kind of work a bit quicker. I mean, not crazy-fast, but, you know, five or six pages a day is a nice pace.

I kind of have an interest in all history. And I suspect it comes from being Irish - we like stories, we like telling stories, which makes a lot of us lean towards being writers or actors or directors.

You never know when the publicity people will feel it is a good time to release the film.

I usually read a script from an audience perspective first, and then look more closely at the character only.
