Acting is way of making yourself exist.

People ask me to smile for the camera, but somehow it always comes out gloomy.

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.

I've never been in a bad play. There might have been bad productions and I might have been bad in them, but I've never been in a play that wasn't interesting or worthwhile doing on some level.

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

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.
