As actors, you don't actually need to know the future of the character. You just need to know the backgrounds.

You basically go in animation and it's all in the imagination. There aren't even pictures to look at. You usually go in there and work with whoever the director is to create this voice and this character.

Doing animation is great fun. It's like a different world.

I would kill to do more work with Orla Brady, I think she's that gifted.

Human beings, we have dark sides; we have dark issues in our lives. To progress anywhere in life, you have to face your demons.

We often get pigeon-holed as a tough guy, or whatever else. I've been pigeon-holed as a heavy and serious, and almost a baddy, but not quite a baddy, over the years of my work in television, particularly.
