When I moved to New York, I was dead broke and lost my mind, and my girlfriend dumped me and was with some banker making money. I wandered by Jane Curtin's house, and she's like, 'Come in here, dear. I'll make you lunch. Tell me, what's going on in your life?'

I remember working on movies like Gettysburg and feeling that Jeff Daniels was kind of a mentor.

I'm really good friends with Danny Trejo.

I think in a weird way that the entertainment industry is strangely more brutally honest than any other.

Fair or not, it always sucks when everyone wanders back from Sundance talking about how bad the movies were.

Like most things in life, the beard always comes first. And it sends out some kind of pheromonal call to the universe that brings the roles appropriate to it.

Donal Logue

Life Ways Way

Ultimately, it has been a struggle- but I was in Minneapolis and Austin a couple of weeks ago, sitting in theaters with complete strangers watching this weird movie that Kirk and I thought up and I was excited to be making film.

I'm probably the least famous of any guy who's worked as much as I have.

What's interesting to 'Vikings' the series is that Horik is so blind in his greed and his desire for revenge that he can't hear reason, and he's probably so insecure about Ragnar that he won't take his advice. And straight up, honestly, if you ever have to say to someone, 'Hey, remember, I'm the king?' It's too late, and you've lost your authority.

If given that ability, I would definitely be a long-haired, beard person. Ever since third grade, your whole life, there's always someone who's like, 'You better get a haircut.' It's no different in acting, especially when you don't know what role you're going to do next: a doctor, lawyer, a military guy, or whatever.

I always think it's absurd when people go, 'How can you have a show about Batman without Batman?' 'Gotham' is plenty fascinating, 'Chinatown' style.

Donal Logue

You Without Wit

Yeah, I'd done a bunch of pilots. Some that had gone for a while. One that went for 13 episodes. But I had never been on a show that had lasted more than that.

The desert feels Irish in a way - lonely and barren.

I feel like I'm really lucky because I get to sometimes maybe vibrate at a frequency that's a little deeper and darker than people anticipate.

I play grizzlys, but I'm not a grizzly. I'm a song-and-dance man.

The day I showed up to South Carolina to work, I was with my kid and my ex and our dog and Kirk was hanging with this weird guy and I kind of defined the two of them by his friend and made a vow to avoid him.

I'm into cars and motorcycles, but I'm not crazy. I still have a couple motorcycles, but as you get older and you have kids, you develop a little bit of caution on the road.

No, I'm not a comic book guy. I'm pretty fascinated with the subculture though and I do think that the world of comic books is such a natural transition into film.

It was just a really thrilling little ride on this big world of 'Sons of Anarchy.'

Donal Logue

World Us Thrilling

I did pilots here and there but mostly I was doing little bits in movies.

Donal Logue

I like bands that don't necessarily sell the most records.

Donal Logue

Once a film is made and it exists, someone somewhere is going to watch it and that is kind of the magic of it all.

Donal Logue

I have to say that it was a thrilling ride to be on 'Terriers.' It was this odd circumstance where it was really loved by the people it was loved by, but it didn't do well. In fairness to FX, they were just so generous in keeping it on the air the whole year.

Donal Logue

Well Bill Martin and Mike Schiff were the creators and they knew we had to do a family show. Everybody came at it from the angle of having been a kid and a teenager.

Donal Logue

I played on this soccer team, called Hollywood United, and there were a lot of old ex-international pro-players. We played this benefit match at the Rose Bowl, and the crowd streamed in. It's so nerve-wracking to go out into a stadium, feeling a billion eyes upon you when you mess up your touches. That's an overwhelming environment.

Donal Logue

People want people to do well. You can get focused on the bitter side of it, like, 'Everybody wants you to fail. Everybody's keeping the door closed to you,' but that's not true at all. Everybody's kind of in the same boat.

If someone said, 'Think of a happy place for you,' I'd say a glacial plane near the South Pole, the wind howling, nobody in sight, a shack with a pot-belly stove and some tea.

Donal Logue

I don't know what's coming down the pike in 'Gotham.' Part of me goes, 'Man, I just wish I could be in the writers' room. Do you need someone to make you guys coffee?' I just want to be a part of the flow of it.

Donal Logue

I got a lot of flak for having Kirk as the lead because they all claimed it was a much harder sell, but no one else could have done that part for many reasons.

Donal Logue

One of my best and dearest friends in the world is this guy named Robert Burke, who was in 'Rescue Me.'

Donal Logue

A college football star, by his senior year, is used to running out there with 110,000 people going nuts. They feel comfortable in that environment. To me, a set feels like that. The one thing that I do know is that, as long as I'm prepared, I know this environment and this world.

Donal Logue

I honestly feel like we never had a bad episode by TV standards. Every week I felt there were so many strong components of the show, especially the writing.

Donal Logue

Follow your deepest dream, the one you had as a kid... but stay focused.

Donal Logue

Young actors are pretty fantastic. I can't even imagine doing stuff like that when I was a kid.

Donal Logue

We own our movie and are now close to breaking even, even without finishing domestic DVD deals.

Donal Logue

Then I did The Tao of Steve and that was at Sundance in 2000 where it did really well.

Donal Logue

It was all that stuff about taking your parents' car when you're 13, sneaking booze into rock shows and ditching school with your friends. I could relate to that as a former teenager, rather than as a present parent.

Donal Logue

It didn't get into Sundance although I showed a rough cut which is a mistake to all filmmakers out there.

Donal Logue

I don't think a show's ever changed networks in the middle of the season before, but it was cool because they gave us those extra couple years of life that was necessary to get us to syndication.

Donal Logue

I am in Ghost Rider but I'm not sure when it's coming out.

Donal Logue

My mom, she's from Ireland, coached tennis in Nigeria when she was a missionary and turned me on to it when I was young.

Donal Logue

Even now, when people come up to me and say, 'My kid's an actor. They want to move to L.A. What should they do?' Even if you wanted to help them as much as possible, there's really nothing you can do.

Donal Logue

It's always surprised me that the most successful and really amazing shows are also the happiest environments and very welcoming.

Donal Logue

To me, the people on 'Copper' were rock stars. Before I joined that show, I loved that show.

Donal Logue

It is fun playing villains, for sure.

Donal Logue

I'm a professional hanger outer. I'm a super liability, too. I joke around, and I'm like a hyperactive child.

Donal Logue

It was hard to do 'Vikings.' It was hard to do 'Copper.' Part of that was, like, there's dialect and other things.

Donal Logue

I'm a happy human being when I'm overloaded with stuff to do, but I got stuff to do.
