Audiences can be very judgmental.
Belfast during the Troubles looked like a different world.
America's been very, very good to me. I've been very lucky and worked a lot there, and appreciate and love the work that I've done.
For me really good acting is about subtext.
I'm a huge fan of 'The Exorcist.'
I'm not the kind of actor who goes into exhaustive research for each role.
You come ready to work when you know that you are going to get a couple of gos and it. It kind of galvanizes everything and there is something about it that keeps it very alive.
I'm the git in the family.
I want to go anywhere and everywhere and explore as much as I can.
I think anybody who bets on horses and says they win is probably a liar.
I don't just like to have 1 take, but not too many. I think it is good to keep it alive.
I like to play characters that are convincing, that aren't just straightforward and nice.
I think there is a lot of overexplaining both in writing and acting. People don't need to be hit on the head.
I watch a film and the most important thing to me is what I think of the movie.
