Well, Ive Always Been A Character Actor,

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 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.

There Are So Many Burning Issues To Be Dealt With That It's Completely Understandable And Natural That A Character Is Struggling With These Issues Themselves. In That Struggle, You Inform The Audience. The Thing About This Writing Is That It's Very Easy To Learn. Good Writing Always Is.

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.

The Digital Revolution Has Changed The Way We Do Things Because You're Not Under That Pressure That Film Is Precious And Film Is Expensive.
