Patrick Swayze is a fantastic man and an inspiration to work with. He is a fearless cowboy type and a movie icon.

As an actor, sometimes you've gotta take the jobs that you may not want to do. It's so hard to work as an actor.

Acting wasn't some long-held dream, and it still isn't, really. I'm just trying to make some money and pay the bills.

I actually don't think Ireland has a summer. I never experienced a summer there. It was just so wet.

I went to university for a year, and I'm not one for schooling and have no enjoyment sitting in a classroom all day and ended up going to live in England for two years, just to travel. I worked in a bar in a hotel for a couple of years and had no intention of becoming an actor. That's where I met my agent.

I haven't changed a bit. I go out with my mates, but I probably have to watch what I do a little more.
