[About In Bruges (2008) director Martin McDonagh] Yeah, similar to that, I’d kind of worked with Martin on Six Shooter (2004)… he showed me that script before we knew it was going to happen… It was kind of a notion at that time, so you just kind of think, ‘how cool this would be to make’.

I don’t want people poking around in my private stuff. They’ve no business in it. My work is what I give to people, that’s my job, and that’s where it stops.

For me, it’s just about keeping the standards up. We’re a small country, so we have to punch above our weight. I’m not a great man for doing something just because it’s Irish, and you never know what’s going to work. But as long as we keep the standards up, people will continue to invest in films. It’s as simple as that.

The horror of a death without dignity has so much implications for the people who are left behind.
