Acting doesn't have to be threadbare misery all the time.

Irish people are educated not only about artistry but local history.

I think America becomes more disgruntled by going to the movies and having an endlessly good time at them.

And by endlessly sanitizing our feelings, we actually feed a disgruntled nation.

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

I take the theater seriously in that I loathe it, I'm bored by it.

I find it incredibly tedious, hate that it murders itself with its own conservative pomposity.
