I'm not really very ambitious.

Baddies always do get the best lines, that's the honest truth.

It was only when I finished the course and left my graduation diploma on the bus that I realized I'd become an actor.

I'm attracted to seeing how different I can be, pushing the boat out.

I don't have any expectations as an actor and being rich and famous is not my driving force.

There are lots of people I admire and respect, but I don't necessarily want to be like them. I'm too happy being myself.

I find it incredibly romantic that people should fight for a cause they believe in and be prepared to die for it.

I went further and further back through the centuries to get a sense of perspective but now at least I understand why Irish history evokes such strong passions and emotions.

When I left school I went to Australia for a year and worked in the drama department of a school in Perth.

It felt good doing a physical job, and going home each evening feeling like I had really done a day's work.

There is an odd sense of responsibility attached to appearing in a drama about a real piece of history. A work of fiction is fun.

Michael has never cried during a Broadway show. Except in that scene where Tarzan's ape father is brutally murdered.And that was only because he was laughing so hard.

Opinions are many, but there is only one truth. Don’t get lost in opinions.

Truly I am God's Beauty, His Trophy, His Outstretched Arms...I am here for His Glory and Pleasure.

I can promise you this: If you really, sincerely, genuinely want God back, He hasn't moved. He's still there, just like always, ready to bear-hug you again, just like in the old days.

One man's cult is another man's religion.

When we become overly concerned about our appearance, our spiritual reputation, our coolness, and our acceptance, we are living as citizens of this world rather than as ambassadors.

Being a failure at living your own life as best as you can is better than being a success living the life somebody else says you should live.

Enemies of art are the opposite of the Sun; they emit darkness instead of light!

Challenge yourself; it’s the only path which leads to growth.

Whatever may be his true and final destination, there is a spirit within him at enmity with nothingness and dissolution. This is the character of all life and being.
