People had always vaguely mentioned that when you have children, how part of your life would stop. But they don't say that some other extraordinary part of your life opens up.
There's many things that you can do with your life. It doesn't necessarily - I think if you're in a creative sphere, or if you're hungry for experience, then those experiences don't necessarily happen like rungs of a ladder or in a linear way.
The more you can remove the obstacles between you and the world as a woman, the easier and simpler life becomes.
A lot of people are frightened by old age - by being around people who are, basically, on their way out - but I'm fascinated by it. It's an amazing thing to be around someone who has had a life well lived.
I never feel particularly comfortable holding a gun, but when you're playing somebody who lived in the frontier southwest, guns are a part of their life. Anyone who lives on land has a gun.
It is so interesting when you meet an actor in real life and they look completely different.
Because the picture is called 'Veronica Guerin,' you expect a biopic. But it's really about the last two years of her life.
As an actor I suppose you're constantly observing. I don't sit in restaurants making notes, I don't live my life in order to then feed it into my work.
There is not a lot of separation between work and home life.
I've been pretty lucky in the leading men department.
I've been mostly influenced by experiences in the theater growing up.
People tend to look great if they feel great.
Believe it or not, I'm pretty good at just doing nothing.
Thank you to Martin Scorsese - I hope my son will marry your daughter.
