Here's a supposed interview with Colin... only most of it does appear to be quotes from the past, rather than recent: have a read & see what you think?
Reformed hellraiser Colin Farrell says he appreciates his success more now he is on the wagon.
Colin Farrell appreciates success more now he is sober.
The 33-year-old actor - previously famed for his hard partying ways - gave up drinking a few years ago and says being teetotal has allowed him to be proud of his big screen achievements.
He said: "It's put more focus on my career. I'm a lot more appreciative over what I have. For years I was adamantly trying to show that I wasn't worthy or that I didn't know why it happened to me. I enjoy it a lot more now."
The 'In Bruges' star says there was no specific reason why he curbed his wild ways, other than that he had begun to grow tired of his hectic lifestyle.
He added: "I just wanted to stop. I was done with it, I was tired of it, I wanted to get off the treadmill."
Despite his antics, Colin insists he has always taken his career seriously.
He told "TOTAL FILM MAGAZINE: "The work I always took serious - I probably would have been embarrassed by how serious I took it. Everything else, the behaviour around the work, was a guy having a good time and probably trying to apologise for his success."

No Gem. I never read this quotes by him.
ReplyDeleteHe used to say he stopped drinking because he wanted to live for Jimmy's sake. And I certainly never ever read him saying he was proud of his screen achievments. Quite the oposite. He said in Toronto it wouldn't be healthy to have a colin farrell night on his home cinema nights.He said he only liked his own performance in New world and in Bruges. He actually said these were the only films he hadn't ruined completely by his presence, if I remenber well. So... FERB.
Seems you're right FERB, they are new comments :)sorry!
ReplyDeleteHe is very passionate about his son Jimmy and of course now Henry, but his son was the real reason why he quite partying... that is BULLSHIT, (I'm so sorry Gemini for saying such language) B.S about him wondering how much longer he had to spend with his son before he could have another drink. He is a good father and he always has been...his son came in 2003 and by the end of 2004 beginning of 2005 he was in rehab after the Miami Vice movie. He's been clean for 5 years. Who makes up this garbage. His life revolved around Jimmy since he was born. Next your going to hear that its because of Alicja that he stopped everything. I'm sure she had some influence in bringing him around to settle down, but other than that he did it on his own.
