Ireland was a place for the renewal of hope and I still see it like that.

I'm not sure you learn anything on film sets.

I suppose the place where I live is fairly remote, it would seem remote to some people.

I live in a landscape, which every single day of my life is enriching.

It must be hard interviewing actors.

My life is devoted to self-delusion - and I have a great capacity for that - but it's the thing that gives me the most pleasure, so I can't complain about it.

I'd always felt very strongly in the power of vocation.
