I Remember My Dad Came From Ireland

When I Was About Fifteen, I Went To Work At Yosemite National Park. It Changed Me Forever. Nature Had Carved Its Own Sculpture, And I Was Part Of It, Not The Other Way Around.

I'm Not That Interested In Someone That One-dimensional, But I'm Interested In Playing Somebody That's More Complicated.

Between 18 And 19 Years Old [in The 1950s] I Came To Paris. I Studied Art. And That Experience Really Did Change My Life. I Was Living Hand To Mouth. I Walked Everywhere. I Thought, This City Is Incredible But You Really Have To Experience It By Walking It.

I Remember My Dad Came From Ireland And Scotland, And So He Carried With Him The Fear Of Poverty. So When I Wanted To Break Loose, It Kind Of Made Him Very Nervous.

I Didn’t Want The Attacks To Affect Me. I Don’t Believe You Should Be Led By Fear.
