No man is an island, as they say. No. I've tried it. I've gone on retreats at various times in my life for three or four or five days. I was desperate to get out of there and talk to somebody. But I fly fish a lot, and I can only do that really by myself. I find I'm never lonesome when I'm on a river, far from it, but it's a lonely practice.

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.

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

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

I've made many films and only a few times I've played real people.

I don't think for this generation, but for my generation and my father's generation, men had difficulty in accessing emotion and then being able to talk about it.

I'm not the kind of actor that would know what my character had for breakfast last Tuesday.
