I've had so much fun working on 'Shameless.'

'Shameless' was such a weird time in my life because I never really experienced any kind of role that put me that much in the spotlight before.

My character in 'Shame' is an outrageous person. Loud and uncompromising and I begged Steve McQueen to give me the job.

Shame, like beauty, is often in the eye of the beholder.

There is no shame like poor shame. It can make you warm and charming, bitter and resentful, all at once.

Shame is such an intense emotion. It just can drive you.

I did 'Shameless' on Showtime, and I felt like I really tried to go super-method with that, and it would just make my days really hard to get in and out of character.

I remember I was unsure about doing 'Shameless.' I'd never acted in anything so commercial. I read the script in the garden with my mum, Mary. She said it's filthy dirty, but she said these people have love and sex and nothing else. That made me take the role.

There is nothing in the world more shameful than establishing one's self on lies and fables.

I have never fully exorcised shames that struck me to the heart as a child except through written violence, shadowy caricature, and dark jokes.
