I am the actor that I am. I do what I do. I've been a 'leading man' playing romantic leads for a long time now.
God has been good to me. My faith has been good to me in the moments of deepest suffering, doubt and fear.
Fame is like a big piece of meringue - it's beautiful, and you keep eating it, but it doesn't really fill you up.
Clive Owen would be a fantastic James Bond. Any man who does it will have to weigh his odds - whether he can get in and get out.
Certain projects find you at the right time.
Cancer is a very sad thing, but you can always take something from every experience.
Being some country lad from the banks of the River Boyne, I never wanted to be wealthy. I was driven by artistic intention.
Being a widower is not that groovy when you lose someone you really love, and you have to go out and date again.
Being a father is a huge responsibility but a satisfying one.
Actors have an innate sense of self and humanity, the good ones do, and of being generous of heart and generous of spirit.
The life of an actor lends itself to emotion, and yet you have to be tough as old boots to stay at the table.
I can still run in a straight line, and I can still throw a punch.
A man becomes what he dreams. And I dreamed of being in the movies. I was brought up on Steve McQueen, Clint Eastwood, Warren Beatty, and Cary Grant.
When you go through a long illness, certainly one of cancer, there's a certain release from it and relief that it has come to an end, because the suffering can be unbearable, as opposed to an abrupt stop to life when they go out the door and there's a loved one who never comes home because of some accident.
