Writing is a kind of performing art, and I can't sit down to write unless I'm dressed. I don't mean dressed in a suit, but dressed well and comfortably and I have to be shaved and bathed.
From Peter O'Toole
For me, life has either been a wake or a wedding.
Irish women are always carrying water on their heads, and always carrying their husbands home from pubs. Such things are the greatest posture-builders in the world.
The only exercise I take is walking behind the coffins of friends who took exercise.
I can't stand light. I hate weather.
It is time for me to chuck in the sponge. To retire from films and stage. The heart for it has gone out of me: it won't come back.
My professional acting life, stage and screen, has brought me public support, emotional fulfillment and material comfort. It has brought me together with fine people, good companions with whom I've shared the inevitable lot of all actors: flops and hits.
The common denominator of all my friends is that they're dead.
Always a bridesmaid never a bride my foot!
Actors have to stay optimistic. The moment we start thinking otherwise, we're dead.
