When a person is judgmental without realizing that they are the thing they detest in others.

Careless cruelty.

Aggression. Anger. Rudeness. Intolerance. Lack of understanding. Pretty much your average day on X.

I dislike dawdlers. When I walk, I do so with purpose. I have no time for people shuffling along.

To my parents for all the mess-ups. There have been times when I’ve been going through something and I’ve thought, God, I’m so glad my mum and dad are dead, because they don’t have to go through it with me.

Losing my marbles.

Filming a TV show in a field in the snow in February in the Dublin hills for 14 hours; the director said, “We’re not going to get that shot today.”

Cowardice. There are so many issues that I would like to express opinions about but I’m too scared to stick my head above the parapet because of the social media pile-on.

A Rolls-Royce. I met my wife, Jackie, when I was filming a Lynda La Plante drama called The Governor. I fell in love with her instantly and I was bullshitting that I had a Rolls-Royce. When I finished filming, she decided to leave her country and come and live with me in London. On the way to the airport, I phoned my PA and said, “Go and buy a Rolls-Royce.”

Love makes me feel sick. I get sick with worry about my kids. It keeps me up at night.
