I have no desire to play King Lear or Hamlet. I never had a grand ambition. I just followed my nose.

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

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

I was reared a Catholic but I think every day we ask ourselves, not consciously, what are we doing on this planet? What's it all about?

Criminals thrive on the indulgence of society’s understanding.

In bed at night, I could be reading some book, and I'll come across a sentence that's totally unrelated to some scene I did years ago. But I'll play the scene back in my mind and think, I did that wrong - I should've opened the door more slowly.

There seems to be more opportunities for old guys like me to do a little fighting and running because the lead characters also require a bit of depth and maturity and gravitas that one is likely to acquire doing drama all those years.
