thinking acting let-me
I think my being such a nomad let me into acting. I was always having to create a new image whenever we moved.
school mean energy
I would love, more than anything, to do an out-and-out farce with huge physical energy. Just because you're from the minimalist school, it doesn't mean you can't go big.
laughing
Make them laugh, and then make them listen.
thinking people my-family
I think there's a down-to-earthness with Midwesterners and with people from the Midlands - which is where my family is from - in Ireland.
nice levels tables
I like the level of fame that I have. You get nice tables in restaurants sometimes, but fame isn't something that I find comfortable.
interesting roles
I get to do interesting roles and make a living.
Money is just something to be circulated.
liam occasions my-friends
I loved working with Meryl Streep twice and I've gotten to work with my friend Liam Neeson on several occasions.
fire focus everyday
Really, most of us just focus on what's in front of us. We're too busy putting out the fires of everyday life.
careers interesting people
I'm not particularly a career-oriented guy. I'm lucky. I can make really interesting films much of the time with interesting people yet be anonymous, have a private life. But, I'd like to have the choice of the better roles.
stupid mean past
I mean, I've been stupid in the past, and I've learned from that.
stars thinking office
You should learn to be happy with what you have. Besides, the fact that I'm not a huge star has allowed me to pick and choose the roles I want to do, not the ones some person sitting in a studio office thinks I should do.
family joy
The family is where most of our joy comes from.
nice life-is-hard hard-life
Life is hard for everyone. That's why there's such a nice reward at the end of it.
