CYRIL CUSACK

I am a nationalist... my native soil is the theatre.

I am basically a religious man.

I have been on my own all my life except during those touring days.

In my younger years my dedication may have expressed itself egotistically.

Theatre has no national identity. It is something for the world, whether it is Irish, English, or French.

The actor has a constant problem of personal identity.

I was rather a fat little boy.

To maintain one's individuality, integrity, and true personality in the theatre is a big task.

They say 6 million people see you when you act in a film; it may only be 600 in a play. But the effect on the 600 may be truer and more lasting.

The relationship with a live audience seems to me to count for more.

If you asked me for my New Year Resolution, it would be to find out who I am.

I have tried to explore the little talent I have for writing.

Acting is the most brotherly and sisterly profession in the world.

The relationship with a live audience seems to me to count for more.

I love the theatre and theatre people.

To maintain one's individuality, integrity, and true personality in the theatre is a big task.

Religion promotes the divine discontent within oneself, so that one tries to make oneself a better person and draw oneself closer to God.

One's performance is often heightened by the brilliance and generosity of other actors.
