Acting is way of making yourself exist.
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.
Angel was the first Irish feature film. Neil's first movie and my first movie.
You have to know who you are, if you don't you have nightmares.
At least when you're acting you can be someone. In front of the camera you have to be yourself. And who am I?
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.
