Sometimes you take time off, and then you look around and you go, "Hello. What happened? Oh dear!"

I'm Irish, for gods sake. I'm a romantic.

I'm not very comfortable with watching my performances. I don't particularly find a great joy in it. Everything is the process of making it, of getting it, getting the job, saying yes to the job. Those are the joys. Making it is the greatest joy. And then, you have to show the bloody thing. You have to show and tell, be judged. But I don't listen. I don't pay much attention. I hear the rumblings of greatness or the arrows of discontent and harsh words. Then you go, "Oh God. Why?"

America gave me the great glory of coming into people's homes every week and allowed me to last as long as I have.

You can get totally messed up trying to please everyone with what you do, but ultimately, you have to please yourself.

America, which leads the world in so many ways, can end childhood hunger within its borders.
