Aidan Quinn

“I'm very proud of my Irish heritage. That's where I'm from.”

“I have a great family, I live an amazing life.”

“I love theatre. I love the idea of 'the show must go on.' It's a great lesson for life.”

“It's about having a balanced life, enjoying your family, and having some sense of yourself.”

“I think there's a great difference between 'celebrity' and 'actor.' I'm an actor.”

“I've been a professional actor for 20 years, and I'm 40 years old. It's not always easy to make a living at it. But I've been blessed.”

“I'm not a city kind of guy. I'm a country guy. I grew up in a farm.”

“I always wanted to be a farmer. There is a tradition of that in my family.”

“I never had a driving ambition to be a star.”

“What really matters is what you do with what you have.”

“I think the Irish are so driven by literature and song and story, and I think the landscape has something to do with that.”

“For me, acting is about finding the truth of a character.”

“I think you learn more from your failures than from your successes.”
