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.
baseball boys years
Baseball should be the only thing on an eight year old boy's mind.
great-things parting
I don't get any parts I don't get offered. There are lots of great things out there I would like to do that I don't get offered.
moving athlete character
My thing about looking good is that it should be the character. If I'm playing a character who's concerned about his body - an athlete, say - I'll get in shape. If I'm playing a character who doesn't or wouldn't, I don't. I almost never get in shape for a movie, even though I know it would be a good career move.
tvs these-days
There's certainly more work for me in TV these days.
pants short-pants auras
I'd wear clogs, short pants and ladies' bracelets. I created this aura for myself.
girl house sneak
I'd sneak out of the house to meet girls at 3:30 a.m.
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.
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.
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.
