I am very different to Colin Farrell. I admire him tremendously. We are both Irish and are both the same age,

But I don't look like Colin Farrell, I don't behave like Colin Farrell, and I do different movies than Colin Farrell.

That was a fun script and a lot of great Irish actors.

You're an actor who's Irish, not an Irish actor. And you shouldn't be limited by your extraction.

I don't worry about it, ... I just worked with Neil Jordan on 'Breakfast On Pluto,' where I play an Irish transvestite singer in a London cabaret.'

Yeah, I suppose slightly more people now can pronounce my name. It's all about recognition, isn't it? I have a funny cognizance of the fact that Hollywood is about commerce and art; it's an uncomfortable mixture of the two. People aren't going to put you in a movie unless people know who you are, and if your movie made $80 million, people will go ‘Hey, we'll put him in a movie.' It isn't necessarily about the performance, so yeah, that was great and it means you get to read scripts and meet people that you wouldn't have done in the past.
