You Never Know When The Publicity People

I Kind Of Have An Interest In All History. And I Suspect It Comes From Being Irish - We Like Stories, We Like Telling Stories, Which Makes A Lot Of Us Lean Towards Being Writers Or Actors Or Directors.

Normally When I'm Sent A Script I'll Read It Through To See How It Hangs As A Story And Then I'll Go Back And Read It Through Again And Look At The Character.

As An Actor, I Like To Get A Bit Of Momentum Going With A Character And Kind Of Work A Bit Quicker. I Mean, Not Crazy-fast, But, You Know, Five Or Six Pages A Day Is A Nice Pace.

My Old Manager Of The Irish National Theatre Said 'don't Worry About Being A Star, Just Worry About Being A Working Actor. Just Keep Working.' I Think That's Really Good Advice.

I Usually Read A Script From An Audience Perspective First, And Then Look More Closely At The Character Only.
