Indeed I regard the enduring support which I have received over the years from all sections of the community in Ballymena as being more than sufficient recognition for any success which I may have achieved as an actor.
I had done some flimflam movies, but I didn't understand what being an actor meant anymore.
I'd like to play Ian Paisley, actually. I'd need building up, though he's very frail now.
I offer my performance as prayer for someone I've worked with as an actor or someone who has died. The image that comes into my head as I walk to the stage, I offer that performance up for that person.
I have often found that no matter where I meet people in the world, there is a path that leads back to Queen's.
Before 'Schindler's List,' I wouldn't have believed movies had a lot of power for social change.
You think your life is going one way and then suddenly, you're on another track.
I think there must be some other life forms, even if they're microscopic.
I try to stay fit. I try and do something every day but I don't jog. My body hates jogging.
In bed at night, I could be reading some book, and I'll come across a sentence that's totally unrelated to some scene I did years ago. But I'll play the scene back in my mind and think, I did that wrong - I should've opened the door more slowly.
