- Nothing

- Boy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Horrible
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's ridiculous, but it's horrible going bald. Anyone who says it isn't is lying.
- Hair
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Several years ago, I began losing my hair, and like a lot of men, it was a major concern to me, in fact it was practically an obsession. But, also I'm an actor, so I'm in the public eye a lot and I really felt that my hair loss could affect my career prospects.
- Out
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

I'd be a very easy therapist's subject.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My mother taught me what it is to have a sense of humour; my dad, who was a headmaster, everything you need to know about hard work. My dad is the most decent man you could come across.
- Remember
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The thing to remember is that the work comes first, and not to get distracted by anything else. If you keep focused on the work, everything else will fall into place. That's my mantra now.
- Great
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Funnily enough, Northern Ireland is a great example of where politics can win over conflict. The decision to down arms and follow a political path would have been unthinkable once. It shows just what is possible.

- Nov 07, 2020
Ours was a very progressive Protestant family, but my parents were God-loving rather than God-fearing. We went to church, and I still go with my mum and dad when I return home - it's a family thing. I played flute in my dad's marching band, but I had an integrated upbringing. We had a lot of Catholic friends.
- Football Match

- Like
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Only
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There will only ever be 13 dwarves in 'The Hobbit' - and I was one of them. If I had my time again, would I do it? Yeah, I would.
- Myself
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When you suddenly become successful, the change is enormous, both financially and in terms of recognition and the way people treat you. I found that hard to deal with. I got very guilty about it, and I think I put up obstacles to prevent myself enjoying it.
- Interviews
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As I told Piers Morgan, 'Catholics have confession, whereas Northern Irish Protestants only have interviews.'

Because I grew up with women, I have a certain amount of charm, and I'm all right to get on with, kind enough, funny enough, blah blah blah.

- Heartbeats
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Theatres, along with the likes of the Ulster Orchestra, for example, are the cultural heartbeats of our towns and cities, and without them, we are much poorer for it.

Drama asks some uncomfortable questions at times... It goes to pretty dark places.
- Man
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Brain
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Brain surgery is a fairly aggressive process. There's a lot to get through. There's the beautiful, delicate shaving first, which is really lovely.
