Gabriel Byrne Quotes

I’m a product of my Irish culture, and I could no more lose that than I could my sense of identity Picture Quote #1

Every minute of every day, a child under 15 is infected with HIV - the overwhelming majority of children under 15 who are HIV-positive get infected through their mothers at birth. Without treatment, half of these children die before they reach their second birthday Picture Quote #1

I still cannot fathom how difficult it was for the women I met to find out that they were HIV-positive. It is such a courageous undertaking in countries where there is still considerable stigma about the disease. They got tested to ensure that their unborn babies would have a chance of life by being born free of the virus Picture Quote #1

I attended the bedside of a friend who was dying in a Dublin hospital. She lived her last hours in a public ward with a television blaring out a football match, all but drowning our final conversation Picture Quote #1

When you’re still, and some actors are really brilliant at that, you bring a kind of energy to you as opposed to sending the energy out. There are some actors, like Gary Cooper or Kevin Spacey, that are absolutely brilliant - Gene Hackman is another - at being and allowing the audience to just do the work Picture Quote #1

I would like to break out of this dark, brooding image, cause I’m actually not like that at all Picture Quote #1

Where issues used to be, say, parochial or local in Ireland or England and so forth, all politics is global now because all business is global Picture Quote #1

I read a lot on the subject and had many conversations, and I have come to the conclusion that the Catholic Church is a force for evil Picture Quote #1

The Catholic Church is an innately conservative rock - they call themselves the ‘rock of Peter’ - and its resistance to change is, ironically, what has kept it constant throughout the ages Picture Quote #1

What is that song that Willie Nelson sang? ‘Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few.’ I think of that. No big deal. I’ve reached a stage in my life where I am content Picture Quote #1

I had one of the best days of my life. I spent the afternoon with my two kids and my ex-wife at Serendipity. Then I came to the theater, and you know, I think I did the play the best I’ve ever done it Picture Quote #1

Unfortunately, I experienced some sexual abuse. It was a known and admitted fact of life amongst us that there was this particular man, and you didn’t want to be left in the dressing room with him. It took many years to come to terms with it and to forgive those incidents that I felt had deeply hurt me Picture Quote #1

We tend to think of extremes of emotions as registering, for example, you have to cry or laugh or get angry. But for the most part, we find it difficult to read each other most of the time. If you walk through the street, most people are pretty difficult to read. But they’re thinking inside Picture Quote #1

I don’t disrespect anybody who espouses a particular religion or belief - that is their own right to do that. But I think it’s terribly important to look beyond the comfort that religion gives Picture Quote #1

The difference that a drama group or a cinema club can make to a small village or a town. It opens people up to ideas, potential about themselves that really, in a way, education often fails to. It’s a way of drawing a community together Picture Quote #1

I would love to go back to any time in European history, especially in Irish history, to the second or third century, prior to the arrival of Christianity when Paganism flourished. I can always go back there in my imagination, of course. It doesn’t cost anything, and it’s a form of time travel, I suppose Picture Quote #1

O’Neill presents a very complex multi-layered kind of challenge. His characters are always deeply complex and, to a great extent, inaccessible Picture Quote #1

I thought to myself, there’s a man who gave up his life to serve others - to touch people in that way is probably the greatest thing you can do as a human being Picture Quote #1

Presents don’t really mean much to me. I don’t want to sound mawkish, but - it was the realization that I have a great many people in my life who really love me, and who I really love Picture Quote #1

From doing A Moon for the Misbegotten, I’ve learned that nobody’s love can save anybody else. There are people who want to die, and nothing or nobody will stop them. The only one who can save you is yourself Picture Quote #1

A completely disrespectful photographer was asked to stop taking photographs, and then said, ‘I’ve got what I want. What are you going to do about it?’ How would you feel if somebody walked up and started taking your photograph? I don’t think you’d be very happy Picture Quote #1

What is that song that Willie Nelson sang? ‘Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few.’ I think of that. No big deal. I’ve reached a stage in my life where I am content Picture Quote #1

O’Neill presents a very complex multi - layered kind of challenge. His characters are always deeply complex and, to a great extent, inaccessible Picture Quote #1

It’s actually pretty complex, because there’s two levels of reality in the narrative. One is what really took place, and the other is Spider’s poisoned version of what took place Picture Quote #1

It was either Voltaire or Charlie Sheen who said, ‘We are born alone. We live alone. We die alone. And anything in between that can give us the illusion that we’re not, we cling to.’ Picture Quote #1

Nobody knows anybody. Not that well Picture Quote #1

I don’t think we’re living in great times for movies, to tell you the truth Picture Quote #1

And then, I suppose, there’s also a cinematic reality on top of that. Because it was extremely difficult to keep tabs on, it was quite confusing acting that Picture Quote #1
