I didn't want to be seen as just a guy on a list. I'm interested in good scripts, scripts that are about something, scripts that move your acting along.

I have never been to a brothel. I don't think I could go into one.

The End of the Affair is a good movie because it about things, things that really matter. Love, sex, death. Have you ever seen romance?

The worst thing for an actor is a director that gets on your nerves and says things that actually confuse you.

I am afraid of death, scared by it. I already don't know whether I exist or not. So dying really terrifies me.

At least when you're acting you can be someone. In front of the camera you have to be yourself. And who am I?

I don't feel ashamed of my wife's political background, and I don't think she should either. I feel that the people who administered the North of Ireland for the last 20 years should be ashamed. There you are.
