kids guy age
I'm 42 and the age of a guy who has kids, so I guess I'm playing right where I'm supposed to be. I'm comfortable with that, but in the same breath I'd do something edgy. If someone came to me and offered me an edgy and funny story, then I'd do it.
kids want emotion
The thing about kids is that they express emotion. They don't hold back. If they want to cry, they cry, and if they are in a good mood, they're in a good mood.
inspiration voice creative
All inspiration comes from a higher power. The body is a shell. The creative spot is from God - You hear voices, everybody does. When you get older, you refer to it as intuition.
real men firsts
My first concert makes me sound like a real old man. My very first concert was Jackie Wilson.
basketball mistake shots
It is as big a mistake to turn down a good shot as it is to take a bad one
basketball character player
In the original script, my character was a basketball player rather than a boxer. I didn't think I could pull that off. I'm a little short to be a basketball player!
I just voted for Jesse Jackson !
years political get-better
The economy in Ireland has been rampaging ahead for the last 15 years. Barring an international, political or natural catastrophe, things can only get better for the Irish.
attitude moving voice
I started out as an impressionist and that’s all about observing, how people move, their voice quality, their attitudes and quirks.
actors reason all-time
The only reason I did Showtime was Robert De Niro. I definitely consider him to be in the top 5 all time actors.
eye driving force
Are You Driving With Your Eyes Open? Or Are You like Using The Force?
different shows show-business
I'm in a whole different part of show business. I'm not even part of Shakespeare in Love.
moving waiting machines
Making movies is time-consuming and it's boring. You spend most of your time waiting between takes. It's like a big machine that moves slowly.
flow dialogue seems
From the very beginning, I always tried to make dialogue flow comfortably; I always did that to make it seem more authentic.
