I keep fit as much as I can.
There’s a ruthlessness to the city now that wasn’t there before. I was in Dublin a few months ago, when we were shooting Breakfast on Pluto, and if I saw one kid throwing up on the street, I must have seen a hundred of them.
The population of America is roughly 300 million and there are 300 million guns in this country, which is terrifying.
Being Irish and a citizen of the world, has made me truly appreciate Irish culture, music and history. Whether you’re first, second generation Irish or even with no connection to Ireland, you should visit in 2013 for a unique experience.
Yeah, well, I finally stopped smoking for good.
I’m keeping myself to myself. And I like it that way. I’m not hunting. I’m the opposite of a – what would a male cougar be? Is there such a thing? Whatever it is, I’m not that.
I’m constantly reading books on God or the absence of God and atheism.
In real life, wolves will do anything to avoid contact with mankind.
The cause of making the world a better place for children unites us all...
Criminals thrive on the indulgence of society’s understanding.
Well, from an acting point of view, I bear no relation, I don’t look like Alfred Kinsey at all, but I thought somewhere in my artist’s soul, my actor’s soul, I could capture something of the spirit of the man.

It’s easy enough to plan jobs, to plan a lot of work.
To be honest, I’m scared to death of rollercoaster rides.
I’m fairly comfortable in fight sequences and stuff like that. I’ve done a few of them. I’m comfortable with that sort of stuff as long as I’m reasonably fit, and it’s fun to do actually. I’m like a kid in a toy shop doing that stuff.
I don’t think for this generation, but for my generation and my father’s generation, men had difficulty in accessing emotion and then being able to talk about it.
We live in an age where revenge seems to be the most important thing for individuals and countries. Why not forgive each other? Decide to accept each other’s differences and move on.
The whole awards thing is great. Why? Because the Golden Globes, the Academy Awards, they put a focus on the industry, and that focus translates into people buying tickets to see movies or download films, legitimately download them. And it keeps us all at work. So I’m a big fan of award shows.
Making a film, you do need stamina, whether you’re doing fight scenes or not. It’s important to keep fit. I’m not talking about having perfect abs and stuff, but you’ve got to be on top of your game, especially if you’re playing the lead. You have to look after yourself.
Recovering alcoholic guys wake up in the morning, and they have to think of a reason to get up, and then, once they’re up, to not have a drink. It’s like all these little heroic battles they have that they fight with and against every day of their lives.
