Having had a reputation for being sexy is a great prop to lean on now.

I have done everything I can to make sure my daughter knows her father because you form your own identity by rebelling against your parents - but first you have to know them.

I came to Ireland 20 years ago as a student, hitch-hiking round for a week and staying in Dublin.

Theatre is a sacred space for actors. You are responsible; you are in the driving-seat.

I avoided nudity unless a film couldnt be told without those scenes. If you look at my films, few of them have that element, yet nudity and male fantasies have become emblematic of my work.

I have invested some money and I have a home, but people don't realise that you might only be working for a few weeks of the year and remain unemployed the rest of the time.

You seldom get that in film where you're lucky if you get any say at all in the final cut.
