Brendan Gleeson’s 5 most popular quotes

  • He earned every precious beautiful moment life gave back to him.
  • It’s interesting going between small parts and then bigger roles where you carry the film. If the writing is good, and if the people involved have integrity, then you’ll do it, even if it’s only five minutes on screen.
  • 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.
  • As an actor, to get a gift of a part like that is unusual. And then, to have the prospect of another one is always going to be interesting and exciting.
  • I think most people are decent people. I don’t know if they could stand the pressure he’s under, but most people aspire to be decent people.
