The Irish Catholic side was married to the life of an actor and I found out acting could be a form of prayer.

Acting with creatures that aren't there is kind like acting with an actor who refuses to come out of his trailer. You still have to go on and do the scene.

I'm fairly comfortable in fight sequences and stuff like that. I've done a few of them. I'm comfortable with that sort of stuff as long as I'm reasonably fit, and it's fun to do actually. I'm like a kid in a toy shop doing that stuff.

There's a ruthlessness to the city now that wasn't there before. I was in Dublin a few months ago, when we were shooting Breakfast on Pluto, and if I saw one kid throwing up on the street, I must have seen a hundred of them.

Well I think people think sex is controversial. Not always, but certainly it's something to be discussed.

I'm a big believer in acts of kindness, no matter how small.

Forget the statistics...we have to do more. You cannot look these children in the eye and see how desperate is their situation without wanting to help.
