| 1 | I don't think awards are good, I don't think you should pluck somebody out of a job that is so communal and give them an award and everybody else is kind of left behind. I don't like awards. [They create] a competition element that shouldn't be there in our job, it really shouldn't, because it's such a family affair. |
| 2 | When you are lying drunk at the airport you're Irish. When you win an Oscar you're British. |
| 3 | If you're doing a scene and you think you're doing it wrong, just swear in the middle of it and then the director can't use it. It's an arrogant way of doing it, but unfortunately it's the only way of self-protection. You have to be a bit anarchic sometimes. |
