Actor Colin Farrell was born May 31, 1976 in Castleknock, Dublin, Ireland.

• "Being Irish is very much a part of who I am. I take it everywhere with me."




• "I don't go to the gym or practice yoga. And the closest thing I have to a nutritionist is the Carlsberg Beer Company. I just have the appetite of a pigeon."




• "Ah, I know what the important things are in life. I know that, just because I pretend to be someone else for two hours doesn't make me a better person than the next man. So, I know those things. Simple things."




• "I do have the ability to explore life and to be over the moon at the smallest thing - a few pints and a craic in the pub and I'm in heaven. But I have a melancholy side to me as well. Acting allows me to feel things, it kind of buys me human experience. And I don't mean this as acting as higher cause, because it's not, but it does kind of have a higher awareness emotionally."




• "I'm just a true Irish boy at heart. I'm just myself, I stick by my guns and I treat people the way I think they should be treated, regardless of their status. And I just have a laugh."




• "I think I'm still trying to find my feet as an actor. And I know it ain't brain surgery, but it confuses me and it comes between me and my sleep a lot."




• "If I could I'd take my shirt off in every scene, or I'd be off walking around the set naked!"




• "The first time you hold your baby in your arms a sense of strength and love washes over you. I never thought that possible."
