I've enjoyed it and I would like to make more films because it allows me this terrible time I need to find out what it is I want to do.

I think America becomes more disgruntled by going to the movies and having an endlessly good time at them.

I'm not on the run from anything and I'm not at all clear about what I'm running towards. But as some great writer put it, I want to be certain that when I arrive at death, I'm totally exhausted.

And by endlessly sanitizing our feelings, we actually feed a disgruntled nation.

To be honest I live among the English and have always found them to be very honest in their business dealings. They are noble, hard-working and anxious to do the right thing. But joy eludes them, they lack the joy that the Irish have.

I once saw my mother playing Mary Magdalene in a parish event. But she had to put the role aside in order to go and front the choir who were singing at the same occasion. She left the stage halfway through the Crucifixion.
