When you get to speak Irish, you become more at one with yourself, you kind of have a spark when you use it, and I think it`s a great dialect. When they first cast me, I was a pretty avid fan of vampire movies and Celtic mythology, so I was excited to get...
Glenn Quinn
The nicest buttocks in the world are in Ireland. Irish women are always carrying water on their heads, and always carrying their husbands home from pubs. Such things are the greatest posture-builders in the world.
Peter O`Toole
I was called Sean long before I was an actor, I had an Irish buddy when I was 12 named Seamus -- pronounced Shay-mus. So they nicknamed us Seamus and Shawn and it stuck.
Sean Connery
My father was totally Irish, and so I went to Ireland once. I found it to be very much like New York, for it was a beautiful country, and both the women and men were good-looking.
James Cagney
It has to do with the fact that Ford, for all his greatness, is an Irish egomaniac, as anyone who knows him will say. -on director John Ford
Henry Fonda
[on Greer Garson] Very bright. Fantastically beautiful. Very much the lady. She was a great Irish wit. There are actors who work in movies. And then there are movie stars. She was a movie star.
Teresa Wright
I am part Italian, I`m not all Italian. I`m part Dutch, I`m part French, I`m part German, I`m part Irish. But my name is Italian and I probably identify more with my Italian side than with my other parts.
Robert De Niro
(on obtaining Irish citizenship) I dare say it was still considered to be an abandonment of England A betrayal! A heresy! It is not expected that someone from my background will leave England. But I`ve committed so many heresies that there`s no sense in n...
Daniel Day-Lewis
I`m Irish Catholic, so a Democrat by blood. But I`m one hundred per cent for Bush. I want my president to be like my agent - not afraid of people, but wants my best interest.
Lara Boyle
I love my heritage! I have my mother who is an Irish-Italian, and my father who is African, so I have the taste buds of an Italian and the spice of an African.
Alicia Keys
I think I was 8 or 9 when I had a f*cking mad thing for Marilyn Monroe. I used to leave Smarties, the Irish equivalent of M&M`s, under my pillow with a little note saying, `I know you`re dead, but these are very f*cking tasty, and you should come have a f...
Colin Farrell
I`ve never felt completely satisfied with what I`ve done. I tend to see things too critically. I`m trying to get over that. I`ve got the Jewish guilt and the Irish shame and it`s a hell of a job distinguishing which is which.
Kevin Kline
And I always thought the biggest failing of Americans was their lack of irony. They are very serious there! Naturally, there are exceptions...the Jewish, Italian, and Irish humor of the East Coast. (Italian Vogue)
Colin Firth
I`ve always said that my father is half black and half Venezuelan and my mother is Irish. But people don`t understand. They can`t fathom that I`m African American, Venezuelan and Irish.
Mariah Carey
I`ve always said that my father is half black and half Venezuelan and my mother is Irish. But people don`t understand. They can`t fathom that I`m African American, Venezuelan and Irish.
Mariah Carey
I love being Spanish as much as I love being Irish, and I really love being Irish.
