I think there's a down-to-earthness with Midwesterners and with people from the Midlands - which is where my family is from - in Ireland.
From Aidan Quinn
You should learn to be happy with what you have. Besides, the fact that I'm not a huge star has allowed me to pick and choose the roles I want to do, not the ones some person sitting in a studio office thinks I should do.
I'm not particularly a career-oriented guy. I'm lucky. I can make really interesting films much of the time with interesting people yet be anonymous, have a private life. But, I'd like to have the choice of the better roles.
There's certainly more work for me in TV these days.
I'd sneak out of the house to meet girls at 3:30 a.m.
I had to bring myself back down to being a normal person again.
I'd wear clogs, short pants and ladies' bracelets. I created this aura for myself.
You have to make them laugh and then make them listen.
There will come a day when the phone doesn't ring as much as it used to.
Celebrity, to me, is not a thing to seek.
