Gabriel Byrne Quotes

When you're still, and some actors are really brilliant at that, you bring a kind of energy to you as opposed to sending the energy out.

I don't give away my shoes to celebrities for free. I'm only happy when people like what I do and make the effort to buy them. I would not be happy to see people in my shoes if I knew that they had to be paid to do it, that they had to be pushed.
