Every blessing ignored becomes a curse. I don't want anything else in life. But you are forcing me to look at wealth and at horizons I have never known.

There's a curse on me as there's a curse on the Larkin name. The curse comes back, again and again, to taunt me! Ronan! Kilty! Tomas! And now me! What are the Irish among men? Are we lepers? Are we a blight? Will there ever be an end to our tears?

It is bad to believe you in error. It would be infinitely worse to have known you a hypocrite.
As an actor, there's nothing worse than having to hide anything, because you're just so aware of it.
