I don't think that I am a sex symbol, although it's very flattering.

We live in an age where revenge seems to be the most important thing for individuals and countries.

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.

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

I'm Irish, so I'm used to odd stews. I can take it. Just throw a lot of carrots and onions in there and I'll call it dinner.

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

It's always fun to do the fight sequences and then to complete them, because some of them are quite complicated - with guns and so on - and there's always things that can go wrong. It's fun to shoot those things because we rehearse them very strenuously. It's fun to shoot them, and fun to know they're finished, that they're in the can so to speak.
