Acting is way of making yourself exist.

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

You have to know who you are, if you don't you have nightmares.

I believe some people in this business suffer from fame because they behave in a famous fashion.

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.

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?

People often refer to my career before The Crying Game as something which led up to that point. But I was very fulfilled in what I was doing.
