I love the intimacy and the passion and the danger that go into independent filmmaking. Because it comes out of a creative necessity. It comes from people who really want to make a movie and want to make a difference and want to grab an audience by the gullet and show them something different.
I think Daniel is a very fine actor. These are rocky waters and they are going to get him one way or another, but I think he will have the last laugh at the end of it.
I'm first and foremost an Irishman, by birth, by nature, by soul, but an American citizen through and through as well.
There was a beautiful church where I lived in Navan, taught by the Christian brothers: fierce, angry men, repressed.
I thought. ... I can do anything I want to do now. I'm not beholden to them or anyone. I'm not shackled by some contracted image. So there was a sense of liberation.
I think Buddhism is a wonderful philosophy. I've had the good fortune to meet many wonderful teachers from that society.
If you want to do a female version of 'The Expendables,' I'll be in that one.
He's a fantastic actor, Kelsey Grammer. You don't have that kind of career without having a talent, without having something to say and to give to an audience.

Movies are somewhat diminished by blockbusters, which are great, but there's not enough choice.
I try to be as disciplined as I possibly can. I try to live a fairly kind of clean life. I do yoga; I cycle and do weights and swim. I do whatever it takes.
If I got into a fight in a bar, I'd miss the dude by miles. I wouldn't know how to connect. It would be a comedy.
The Danes and the Irish have a great simpatico, that's for sure.
I think if Roman Polanski had asked me to do the phone book, I would have said, 'Yes.'
