When I first started out, I was a bad actor.

I've always been somewhere down from the top, so I've never had to suffer being knocked off the top.

I like working. It is where I feel useful. I have no plans to cut down. I am happy with what I do. There will be a lot more of me yet, that's for sure.

People need to see what's going on, and they have to be exposed to the mechanisms that can help make it right.

The best movies are made from a point of view of an understanding of human nature and an understanding of history and an understanding of what motivates people, of what makes a good movie from an emotional place.

Irish as a person but I feel Jewish as an actor.

The focus and the concentration and the attention to detail that flying takes is a kind of meditation. I find it restful and engaging, and other things slip away.
