It's funny, but you get to a time in your life when you think you have all the friends you will ever have.

For every successful actor or actress, there are countless numbers who don't make it. The name of the game is rejection. You go to an audition and you're told you're too tall or you're too Irish or your nose is not quite right. You're rejected for your education, you're rejected for this or that and it's really tough.

When I see great boxers, it's like reading a wonderful poem.

I was an OK boxer, I wasn't great, I was OK, but I loved the discipline of getting together every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, usually Saturday afternoons too, with a whole bunch of mates and training, very, very hard for about two-and-half hours.

I'm constantly reading books on God or the absence of God and atheism.

I have friends who have daughters and there's times I think I'm glad I have boys instead of girls.

Yes, I'm Catholic; I'm proud of it. But I had lots of Protestant friends.
