Peter Gerety: (On his role in The Lieutenant of Inishmore) I'm older than the rest of the cast, I'm built like a fire hydrant, and I don't bend as easily as I should. So I think this is the last play I'm going to do where I get tied up and crawl around on the floor. (edit)
Peter Gerety: I'm really a bit of a workaholic. To me, there's nothing better than being on a film set all day and then doing a Broadway show at night. (edit)
