I feel that marrying younger and being quite a young dad helped me with the stability of my career.

I worked with my dad for 15 years. I apprenticed under him and decided I wanted to become an architect. So I went to college for it and then the acting bug got me.

There's nothing I like more than picking fresh vegetables then putting them in the dinner you make that night.

I come from an alcoholic Irish background - I know where I was going! But I met my wife and started to practise Buddhism, which is a levelling experience for me, and there hasn't been a day I've missed in 40 years. I apply it to everything - to my work and relationships. I try to be a compassionate person.

I'm an inherently happy person. It comes from the inside, which means you can achieve happiness under any circumstance.

Dancers are a work of art - they are the canvas on which their work is painted.

Cooking and eating at home is made even better by the fact that you don't have to worry about driving after a couple of bottles of very nice wine. For me that's the ideal combination: working hard and enjoying the fruits of your labour.
