I have often found that no matter where I meet people in the world, there is a path that leads back to Queen’s. – Liam Neeson
I’ve had an unbelievable life. I’ve been very lucky. You do create your own luck too, you know? I never forget where I’m from. Whenever I pass a building site or see somebody digging a ditch, I always think, ‘That’s real work.’ – Liam Neeson
I’m still a proud Irishman, of course, but I’ve become an American citizen. I’m very, very proud of that. – Liam Neeson
I was reared a Catholic but I think every day we ask ourselves, not consciously, what are we doing on this planet? What’s it all about? – Liam Neeson
Well, from an acting point of view, I bear no relation, I don’t look like Alfred Kinsey at all, but I thought somewhere in my artist’s soul, my actor’s soul, I could capture something of the spirit of the man. – Liam Neeson
I always wanted to be a cowboy, and Jedi Knights are basically cowboys in space, right? – Liam Neeson
Well, I think I’ve made 44 films and only like four times I’ve played real characters I’m just drawn to people who have a pioneer spirit, this extraordinary energy and commitment to their cause. – Liam Neeson
The Irish Catholic side was married to the life of an actor and I found out acting could be a form of prayer. – Liam Neeson
For every successful actor or actress, there are countless numbers who don’t make it. The name of the game is rejection. You go to an audition and you’re told you’re too tall or you’re too Irish or your nose is not quite right.

It’s extraordinary to look into a baby’s face and see a piece of your flesh and your spirit. It makes you realize you are a part of the human race. – Liam Neeson
At the Sex Institute in Bloomington, Indiana, they were a phenomenal help, too. We went out there for a few days, and they gave us access to materials. And the biographies, there are four or five, ranging from very poor to excellent. – Liam Neeson
I will never become a director or a movie producer. I was always looking at picture directing because I didn’t know what to do! You can’t be a movie director without real preparation. – Liam Neeson
I offer my performance as prayer for someone I’ve worked with as an actor or someone who has died. The image that comes into my head as I walk to the stage, I offer that performance up for that person. – Liam Neeson

Well I think people think sex is controversial. Not always, but certainly it’s something to be discussed. – Liam Neeson
I did, although I didn’t read from page 1 to page 187 but I read chunks of it. I did a little bit of science when I was in the university so I was able to understand the graphs and pie charts and stuff like that. It was extremely dry. – Liam Neeson
I don’t do my own stunts, but I do my own fighting. I don’t consider fighting to be a stunt. – Liam Neeson
Acting is invigorating. But I don’t analyse it too much. It’s like a dog smelling where it’s going to do its toilet in the morning. – Liam Neeson
As you know, Hollywood loves to pigeonhole all the actors and actresses, and suddenly I got ‘re-pigeonholed’ as an action actor. – Liam Neeson
I try to be a hard boiled sometimes. My kids see right through it. I’m acting. It’s always, ‘When I say you’ll be back at 11, that means 11, not 11.15. Do you hear me!?’ Then, ‘Yeah, Dad.’ – Liam Neeson
I had done some flimflam movies, but I didn’t understand what being an actor meant anymore. – Liam Neeson
Indeed I regard the enduring support which I have received over the years from all sections of the community in Ballymena as being more than sufficient recognition for any success which I may have achieved as an actor. – Liam Neeson
I try to stay fit. I try and do something every day but I don’t jog. My body hates jogging. – Liam Neeson
