For me, addiction comes down to basically where a pattern of behaviour has developed and that pattern of behaviour is becoming a very damaging cycle. It's sort of damaging your relationships, friends or lovers, it's damaging your own personal health and it's damaging for you and your workplace.

The actors I looked up to when I was a teenager, they all just disappeared into different characters.

I guess in the independent market, I'd be getting offers, but in terms of big studio films, I still have to audition. I don't think my name is that well-known, I don't have much of a following to guarantee box office success yet.

The arts are very alive in Ireland, so that had its influence on me. But I consider myself European, really.

I’m aware of my weaknesses and THE BEAST WITHIN.

I don't like to plan anything ever because it never seems to work. I'm just really...let's just get this film out and see how this one does.

As an audience member and as an actor I much prefer to find ambiguity.
