I don't know if I'm a strict parent or a pushover.
I get fed up with plots that are driven by someone constantly getting information on a computer.
Kinsey's quest was really for us all to be tolerant and accepting of each other.
I'm constantly reading books on God or the absence of God and atheism.
In real life, wolves will do anything to avoid contact with mankind.
To be honest, I'm scared to death of rollercoaster rides.
When I see great boxers, it's like reading a wonderful poem.
Getting married and settling down isn't the most important thing in my life.
But let's just say, I'm Irish. I grew up in the 1950s. Religion had a very tight iron fist.
Acting is invigorating. But I don't analyse it too much. It's like a dog smelling where it's going to do its toilet in the morning.
You can't act being a boxer. It's like being on stage.
I will never become a director or a movie producer. I was always looking at picture directing because I didn't know what to do! You can't be a movie director without real preparation.
I thought, well of course, Kinsey absolutely adored teaching. He was a wonderful teacher. So these kids really inspired me. So that was a clue I hung onto. He loved young people, he absolutely loved them. And he loved teaching them and trying to help them.
I do believe at the end of the night when you're with your family, the character gets hung up on the door like a coat, and is there to be taken on the next morning.
