I've brought my daughters all over the world-they travel with me. I drag them out of school just...
Where there is age there is evolution, where there is life there is growth.
When my mother died, I was 17 years old, and I literally got on a plane and flew to America, and didn't really come back. I have been back to Ireland in short spurts, just skimming the surface of...
Some people had fathers who were bankers or farmers, my father made films, that's how I saw it. As for the movie stars, they were just around, some of them were friends, others weren't, it was all...
Oh, all kinds of lunacy happens in Ireland, all kinds of lunacy.
My biggest ambition is never to be bored. I'm not aggressive enough to strongly run after being an actress.
Lots of women are working in the industry, and they're doing more directing with more coming up. I think it's all pretty good.
It's still possible to find pockets of old Dublin - but its becoming more and more rarified.

I'm not really big on slapstick humor. I like gentle humor.
I'm not all that big on rides. I sort of like bumper cars but I don't really go to Disneyland all that much unless if have nieces and nephews or people to take.
I was actually in my mid-30s when I got the Oscar. And yeah, it does kind of spoil you in terms of the kind of stuff you look for.
I think most actors like to be liked.
I think all actors - they'll hate me for saying this - but we are babies. We like to be loved, and we'll do anything if we're loved.
I like it when you read a script and there's the part that you show to the other characters and then there's the part that only the audience knows.
I know certainly, when one job draws to a close, that I feel I'm simply never going to work again. No one will ever want me for anything ever again. I think that's a vulnerable moment in every...
I have two new nephews and a new niece this year, so I have plenty of kids that I can spend time with.
