Shoes are strange things. If you take your shoes off in a situation in which you're vulnerable, you'll feel 10 times more vulnerable.

You've just provided me with the makings of one hell of a weekend in Dublin.

I'm not really a storyteller myself - I tend to get all tangled up when I try and tell stories.

I have a strange relationship with time. I'm not aware of it passing.

Quite honestly, if I were doing work related to a living being or historical being where there was visual or audio recordings available, I would find that extremely difficult because I don't know how you would avoid the process of mimicry. And mimicry, to me at any rate, is a very dull prospect.

I was a savage for so many years of my life. There was some seed of determination in me that I was not conscious of. I was mostly consciously getting into trouble and drunk.

There must've been some part of me that wanted to make my mark. But there was never a defining moment.
