 I am basically a religious man. |
| The relationship with a live audience seems to me to count for more. |
| Religion promotes the divine discontent within oneself, so that one tries to make oneself a better person and draw oneself closer to God. |
| The actor has a constant problem of personal identity. |
| To maintain one's individuality, integrity, and true personality in the theatre is a big task. |
| Acting is the most brotherly and sisterly profession in the world. |
| I was rather a fat little boy. |
| They say 6 million people see you when you act in a film; it may only be 600 in a play. But the effect on the 600 may be truer and more lasting. |
| I have been on my own all my life except during those touring days. |
| In my younger years my dedication may have expressed itself egotistically. |
| I am a nationalist... my native soil is the theatre. |
| I love the theatre and theatre people. |
| Simple stories... emerge as lovely films or television pieces. |
| Theatre has no national identity. It is something for the world, whether it is Irish, English, or French. |
| If you asked me for my New Year Resolution, it would be to find out who I am. |
| One's performance is often heightened by the brilliance and generosity of other actors. |
| I have tried to explore the little talent I have for writing. |
