Quote
1 I’ll tell you, being on set on ‘Harry Potter’ was nerve-wracking. It was surreal to be in a room with those three kids, all of whom know exactly what they’re doing.
2 I’ve worked a lot with Noah Baumbach, and he doesn’t make it easy to like his characters, but the stories are funny and witty and there’s an edge to that kind of humanity.
3 My feet always danced to Irish traditional music, but I was very glad to get out of the North of Ireland in the mid-Seventies when it was really closed and tight and relentlessly unforgiving.
4 You know, Christianity has its own superstition anyway: Why you turn three times, what this saint means, why you pray to the patron saint of lost causes, why you go this way or that way.
5 My soul is still Irish.
6 No nation can claim, ‘We are an uncorrupt nation, therefore we will tell you what the morals of democracy are.’
7 Sometimes, there’s not an honest engagement of Ireland in Hollywood movies.
8 We’ve seen a lot of dirty politics in Ireland.
9 You get to an age when you lose people close to you.
10 I float from one project to another project, so you miss people and you don’t see them for years.
11 I know I don’t go looking for directors.
12 I never saw myself as being a cop on TV.
13 I’m not a comic person at all.
14 It’s so tough to get movies made in Ireland anymore. A whole generation of Irish filmmakers doesn’t have the resources to get a movie made.
15 Casting is very, very important.
16 Grief is exhausting.
17 I come from theatre and I always go back every couple of years.
18 I do believe as human beings we are a great mass of contradictions.
19 I don’t use the word ‘artists’ lightly.
