There is a great relief in experiencing the worst vicariously.

To be honest I live among the English and have always found them to be very honest in their business dealings. They are noble, hard-working and anxious to do the right thing. But joy eludes them, they lack the joy that the Irish have.

Now I have begun to get interested in films and I just hope that people start becoming interested in me to do more films.

My mother adores singing and plays piano. My uncle was a phenomenal pianist. My brother John is a double bassist. I used to play the piano, badly, and cello. My brother Peter played violin.

I enjoy making films, but my heart is in the stage. Every night you have to be on. There's no second take.

Theater is dangerously open to repetition. Its exciting when you hit on a new way.

I can hardly decide what plays I should be in.
