I do shadow boxing and use a heavy bag, but I don't spar with anyone.

If I get rejected for a part, I pick myself up and say, 'OK, not today, maybe tomorrow I'll get this other part or something.'

I was always attracted to the type of cinema hero as an adolescent growing up in Ireland. Robert Mitchum springs to mind. Later on, it was Steve McQueen to a certain extent and Charles Bronson. They're these types of grizzled characters who had one foot on the side of law and order and the other foot in the bad guy's camp.

In Los Angeles, it's like they jog for two hours a day and then they think they're morally right. That's when you want to choke people, you know?

I don't do my own stunts, but I do my own fighting. I don't consider fighting to be a stunt.

I have to make it my job to be careful with my family.

But let's just say, I'm Irish. I grew up in the 1950s. Religion had a very tight iron fist.
