You learn more doing than doing training.

I need something to do when I'm not working, or I crawl up the walls. So I've just taken up kung fu. I was looking for some kind of calming, relaxing activity. I tried yoga, but it wasn't really me.

Even before my audition, there were several pages missing from my script because those bits were so unbelievably secret not even I was allowed to see them.

My philosophy was, if I just do good work, someone will like it enough to employ me. It never made me famous. And I'm way, way too old now, mate. That boat's sailed.

I'm still working, I've got two arms, two legs, two gorgeous kids, a lovely wife. Fifteen years ago, I was homeless. So when you think about it, I'm lucky.

I'm belligerent rather than ambitious.

I hate auditions - when I'm doing them, I can't wait to get out the bleeding door.

It's not any desire on my part to start playing dads, but it's a convention of drama. If you don't get the parts of young people going out to nightclubs, you have to play their fathers.

When you get to 15 and most of your teachers are priests, there's bound to be a conflict.

That's what I like about Neil Jordan's films: everyone is better at what they do than you are.

I just want to be rich and famous.

Why give up?Why give in?

You can’t ignore our body. It’s the body that houses your healthy mind and a pious soul.

Work with yourself.

Where there is light, there is a way out of the darkness

I'm not a film star, I am an actress. Being a film star is such a false life, lived for fake values and for publicity.

The sad fact is that spending rises every year, no matter what people want or say they want.

Younger Arabs are much less satisfied with education in the region than their elders, and are more comfortable networking and communicating via digital means.

Some people would say we're already under attack by aliens - not space aliens, but illegal aliens.

I expect I should be more calloused by now, but I am so sensitive about not ever living up to anybody's worst idea about an actor who is well-known.

I just want to comment on how It's become a common thing in the NHL for guys to fall in Love with my sloppy seconds
