I started off in this dreadful, vulgar film called 'The Libertine.' I was just learning. I needed the money.

I like when an image could be just one of several others which would create a story. That you can imagine who are those people or what would happen before, what's going to be next; I like when there's a past and a future that we can imagine when we see photos.

I am not super-attached to my career.

It might seem paradoxical given my profession, but I'm not someone who likes to be in the limelight.

There have been a lot of times when work and parenting conflicted for me. Every day.

I always wanted to be a farmer. There is a tradition of that in my family.

As the son of a feminist mother, I grew up with the idea that work was a sort of salvation for women as it would give them freedom from the domestic grind. Now it seems work is a form of slavery, undertaken out of apparent compulsion rather than choice.

The characters in 'Ray Donovan' are not very articulate - we're the worst Irish family you could ever live next to in L.A.
