Angel was the first Irish feature film. Neil's first movie and my first movie.

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 loved movies as a teenager and saw as much American cinema as I could, but I hated the English films of the early 60s and had absolutely no point of identification with them.

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.

Acting is way of making yourself exist.

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

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?
