“I do go back to Ireland, and I'll probably be doing a film in Ireland in January, and I guess that kind of keeps me classified as 'the Irish actor,' but the last four or five projects that I've been in are either American or English, so I don't feel terribly trapped in that. But sometimes, yeah, you would like to not be called 'the Irish actor.' You'd prefer to just be called 'the actor.'” FeelsKindSometimesLastsFilmActorsFiveFourProjectsYeahIrelandTrappedJanuary Author:Colm Meaney
“The history of mankind for the last four centuries is rather like that of an imprisoned sleeper, stirring clumsily and uneasily while the prison that restrains and shelters him catches fire, not waking but incorporating the crackling and warmth of the fire with ancient and incongruous dreams, than like that of a man consciously awake to danger and opportunity.” MenDreamLastsOpportunityFireFourMankindCenturyDangerPrisonAncientAwakeWarmthWakingShelterStirringSleepersIncorporating Book:A Short History of the World Source: A Short History of the World

“I chose the American ones, more or less the last five years of the silent era, because those are the ones that aged the best in the way they tell the story. One, it's about human beings with context. It's a very classical story with feelings, with laughter, melodrama and it really works, the good ones - Murnau's American movies, John Ford's Four Sons, King Vidor's The Crowd, or the (Josef) von Sternberg movies. You can watch it now and it still works.

“I try to look at the evolution of these utopian claims. In the late '60s there was an assumption that the wealth generated by industry would be taxed and then put into social programs and it would provide a baseline of stability that would allow people to have the time for self-expression; and that social contract has eroded over the last four decades and now it's every person for themselves.” PeopleTryingLooksPersonsSelfWould BeLastsSocialWealthFourExpressionIndustryEvolutionLateProgramClaimsDecadesAssumptionContractsStabilitySelf ExpressionUtopianSocial ContractSocial Programs Author:Astra Taylor
