Every St. Patrick's Day every Irishman goes out to find another Irishman to make a speech to.

I think we felt the pressure more at first than this time around. But still you don't want to let anyone down. I never even met Patrick until we had a Christmas party at Ian McKellen's house on the first movie and then I didn't see him again until the premiere.

I like to say magic is the world's second oldest profession a mystical and often awe-inspiring spectacle that throughout the ages has blended superstition trickery and religion.

There's a trick to the Graceful Exit. It begins with the vision to recognize when a job a life stage a relationship is over - and to let go. It means leaving what's over without denying its value.
