• I'm playing a cat burglar. I've made it. This is the high point of my career. I'm really chuffed.

• Of all the characters I've played, I think I have more in common with that guy than with Reilly: Ace of Spies" {referring to Carl Fitzgerald in Death in Brunswick].

• I got an Irish passport the other day. I love it. It's the best thing in my pocket.

• I raised both arms towards the sky. There is no gesture you can make that says you are alive, on a planet, more than that, with your face turned upwards to the sky. There I was, all old bone and sinew and ribs. <br /> And then I looked again. I looked properly at my true self. Without any judgment. And I saw me. I told myself this one thing. You are unique. There is only one you. And that is you there, right here, for better or worse. Except that there is no better, and there is no worse. It’s just you. <br /> And I am alive. Right now in this moment I am truly alive. This me. <br /> Most of what I’ve written has been about other people. And the truth is that I find other people more interesting than I find myself. Well, they just are. The lives of others.

• If I've made a film that turns out to be good, that's a good result. If I've made a film that's good and made a couple of friends, that's a great result. If I've made a film that's no good, but I made a friend, that's still another great result. <br /> It’s at a time like now that the importance of other people is thrown into even sharper relief. You realise who your friends are. You know where the love is.
