I use so much of myself in everything I do. I think every actor does because you have no one else to go to but yourself and your own imagination.
There will be time enough some day to work less.
The scripts don't come pouring in; I have to fight for every part.
I've said it all already, and it's boring.
I've been accused of my publicist of being too confessional... it's probably my Celtic upbringing.
I visit London several times a year. It is my home away from home.
I have had a singing teacher in L.A. for many, many years just to work on my voice as an actor.
Movies are somewhat diminished by blockbusters, which are great, but there's not enough choice.
My life started on the banks of the Boyne in County Meath. Navan is the name of the town; only me, Mom, Dad.
I'd been brought up on... American TV: 'Lou Grant,' 'Starsky & Hutch;' 'Gilligan's Island.'
I had a theatre company years ago when I was a young man, and we would do street theater. This guy did a workshop one day on fire eating, and I participated, and it was just one of those party tricks that you learn. My last endeavor doing that was with the Muppets, back in 1995 or something like that. And I haven't done it since.
The Danish filmmakers are a unique breed of filmmakers, with the Dogme films and Lars von Trier.
Daniel Craig is brilliant as Bond: there is no question about that. But it's a different Bond. It's the cross pollination of 'The Bourne Identity' and 'James Bond;' that kind of style of filmmaking.
They don't know how to move on, ... A sense of paralysis has set in.
