The relationship with a live audience seems to me to count for more.

I have been on my own all my life except during those touring days.

Acting is the most brotherly and sisterly profession in the world.

Theatre has no national identity. It is something for the world, whether it is Irish, English, or French.

I am basically a religious man.

In my younger years my dedication may have expressed itself egotistically.

The actor has a constant problem of personal identity.

I am a nationalist... my native soil is the theatre.

Simple stories... emerge as lovely films or television pieces.

If you asked me for my New Year Resolution, it would be to find out who I am.

I was rather a fat little boy.

The relationship with a live audience seems to me to count for more.

I have tried to explore the little talent I have for writing.

I love the theatre and theatre people.

One's performance is often heightened by the brilliance and generosity of other actors.

To maintain one's individuality, integrity, and true personality in the theatre is a big task.

Religion promotes the divine discontent within oneself, so that one tries to make oneself a better person and draw oneself closer to God.

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.

If you asked me for my New Year resolution, it would be to find out who I am.

The Internet has become a tool to pick on people and ruin someone's life. I don't think parents realize what's going on. Just because you're not at school doesn't mean kids aren't harassing you on the computer.

I'm still raising kids myself, so I don't feel like a grandpa.

Enthusiasm will steady the heart and strengthen the will; it will give force to the thought and nerve to the hand until what was only a possibility becomes a reality.

Just like any other game we're taking on we've got to prepare, prepare hard, mentally, physically. We've been practicing hard.

To me, fantasy has always been the genre of escape, science fiction the genre of ideas. So if you can escape and have a little idea as well, maybe you have some kind of a cross-breed between the two.

This programme to stop nuclear by 2020 is just crazy. If there were a nuclear war, and humanity were wiped out, the Earth would breathe a sigh of relief.

I don't think anybody ever really just retires where they don't do anything.

My dad loves to eat, and he loves everything I make!

I want to be free... free to develop my art.

Home wasn't so much a house as people, family.

In Canada, things are very honest.

The quiet rhythmic monotone of the wall of logs fills one with the rustic peace of a secluded nook in the woods.

They wasn't gonna give you nothin'. I didn't care as long as they let me play my music. Cash on the spot... You cheat me and I'm gonna get me some money, too.

That rifle on the wall of the labourers cottage or working class flat is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there.

The Mexican succumbs very easily to sentimental effusions, and therefore he shuns them.

What guides Marxism, then, is a different model of society, and a different conception of the function of the knowledge that can be produced by society and acquired from it.

In America, I would say New York and New Orleans are the two most interesting food towns. In New Orleans, they don't have a bad deli. There's no mediocrity accepted.

I prefer to write about what we refer to as 'the supernatural' versus everyday life. Humans, by themselves, bore me.

You really do have the license during fashion week to wear the things that you wouldn't necessarily wear to dinner, because it really is a fashion parade.

As I get older, I tend to put more into family than I used to.

As soon as I see period costume, I turn off. It's like hearing drama on Radio 4.

Lord please forgive me for my sinning I aint saying that Im finished but Im praying in advance Cause they way her eyes glance like they playing in my pants

We see healthcare shifting from a procedure reimbursement, where in this country doctors are reimbursed for how many procedures they conduct, to a world where people will be reimbursed for the outcomes - did the patient actually get better, and what was the total cost of the cycle of care.

At Harvard, I got to meet and have dinner with Jamaica Kincaid. Just to have conversations with professors was absolutely amazing.
