I'm Not Going To Experience

Pain Seems To Be Easier, Or Melancholy Seems To Be Easier To Portray In A Character. I Don't Know If That's Because I'm A Human Being Or Because I'm An Irishman Or Both.

Making A Film, You're In A Really Dark Tunnel And The Only Kind Of Illumination Is The Shared Experience You're Having With Your Fellow Cast And Director.

An Actor Said Recently That, Unless You're A Parent, You Shouldn't Play A Parent In A Film. I Don't Know Who Said It, But I Disagree. I Understand That Maybe There Are Aspects That You Don't Understand, Or Maybe This Actor Or Actress Had A Really Strong Recent Experience With Having Their First Or Second Or Third Born Child. I Don't Know. As A Dad, I Get That. I Get That There Is No Love Like It. But, At The Same Time, Love Is Love.

I Couldn't Care Less About Who Sees My Bits ... My Friends Asked How I Could Do Scenes Like That And Not Get Excited, But It Wasn't Like That. My Bits Looked The Size Of A Cashew Nut!
