Of course drugs were fun. And that's what's so stupid about anti-drug campaigns: they don't admit that. I can't say I feel particularly scarred or lessened by my experimentation with drugs. They've gotten a very bad name.

My biggest ambition is never to be bored. I'm not aggressive enough to strongly run after being an actress.

Oh, all kinds of lunacy happens in Ireland, all kinds of lunacy.
I've always thought with relationships, that it's more about what you bring to the table than what you're going to get from it. It's very nice if you sit down and the cake appears. But if you go to the table expecting cake, then it's not so good.

My father was extremely loving to me and funny and wise and understanding, and at other times extremely demanding, critical, calculating, exacting.

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 actor's life, and it happens every time you finish a film.

It was great to work in Ireland because it's such a beautiful country, but it's not particularly easy to film in because the weather changes all the time.

I have two new nephews and a new niece this year, so I have plenty of kids that I can spend time with.

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.
