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

I've been worked over by the English press because there's an assumption that my politics are identical with my wife's, and for that matter that my wife's politics are identical with her politics of 20 years ago.

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.

That was the beginning of modern acting for me. You don't have to tell a camera everything. It gets bored if you do and wants to look elsewhere.

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

My kids act all the time and its exactly what I used to do.

I'm enjoying it, but I still don't know why I'm hooked on acting.
