A lot of Irish people perform. They perform in drawing rooms. They sing songs and they play piano. |
Acting doesn't have to be threadbare misery all the time. |
Also, an area that interests me - and it will probably take years to state what I mean - is the period of the rise of democracy, with Tom Paine, which is around the turn of the 18th century into the 19th. |
And by endlessly sanitizing our feelings, we actually feed a disgruntled nation. |
And I can remember that extraordinary moment when you first see the words, instead of having to make them out letter by letter. |
Even when they have nothing, the Irish emit a kind of happiness, a joy. |
Every generation is obsessed with the decade before they were born. |
I can hardly decide what plays I should be in. |
I certainly had no intention of playing a man. |
I had a ball doing Harry Potter. |
I just think that things should be allowed to run their course, and not turned into a Disney ride. |
I loathe bad theater and most theatre is very bad because it's repetitious, unexciting and, dangerously, it is sometimes praised for those things. |
I mainly drink wine and eat out a lot. |
I mainly have a nice time in my life. |
I must do some film because I can't keep on doing plays at this rate or I'd die. |
