Being
Irish is very much a part of who I am. I take it everywhere
with me. Colin Farrell
I
couldn't care less about who sees my bits ... My friends asked
how I could do scenes like that and not get excited, but it
wasn't like that. My bits looked the size of a cashew nut! Colin Farrell On appearing nude in Tigerland
I
do have the ability to explore life and to be over the moon
at the smallest thing - a few pints and a craic in the pub and
I'm in heaven. But I have a melancholy side to me as well. Acting
allows me to feel things, it kind of buys me human experience.
And I don't mean this as acting as higher cause, because it's
not, but it does kind of have a higher awareness emotionally. Colin Farrell
I
don't go to the gym or practice yoga. And the closest thing
I have to a nutritionist is the Carlsberg Beer Company. I just
have the appetite of a pigeon. Colin Farrell
I
really didn't listen a day. I was just so uninterested. I had
no grand master plan. I just never studied and didn't do homework,
cheated in exams every chance I got. Colin Farrell On school, in interview with American GQ Magazine,
October 2004
I
work my arse off. I'm never late, ask anyone. I'm only 27. I
don't feel like a big star. I feel neither the pressure nor
the grandeur of my situation, you know. I think I'm still trying
to find my feet as an actor. And I know it ain't brain surgery,
but it confuses me and it comes between me and my sleep a lot. Colin Farrell
I've
smoked it a couple of times, but I knew where it was going.
For some reason it seemed pretty fucking nice at the time. Colin Farrell On taking heroin, in interview with American
GQ Magazine, October, 2004
I'm
in no hurry to get anywhere. I don't have any plans. I don't
have a map. If you did in this business, you'd destroy yourself. Colin Farrell
I'm
just a true Irish boy at heart. I'm just myself, I stick by
my guns and I treat people the way I think they should be treated,
regardless of their status. And I just have a laugh. Colin Farrell
I'm
not seduced by it all. I swear to God. I'm easily pleased, yeah.
Don't get me wrong, I'll indulge in it. I'll be in Los Angeles
for two weeks and I'll have a laugh, get battered and have a
buzz, but at the end of the day, I'll go home. It's just me
earning a few more stories to tell everyone at home and all. Colin Farrell On Hollywood
Sex
and the City
