O'Shaugnessy needs time off - Irish humour at its best

Soon after O'Shaugnessy clocked in for work, the foreman called him over and told him that he had a phone call in the front office.

When O'Shaugnessy returned, he had a mournful expression on his face and his head hung low. His foreman noticed and asked if it was bad news. 'To be shure it was, Boss', he replied, 'I just found out that my mother died earlier this morning.'
'Gosh, that's awful, 'replied the foreman, 'Do you want the rest of the day off?'
'No', replied O'Shaugnessy. 'I'll finish the day out.'

About an hour later, the foreman returned to inform him that there was another phone call for him in the office. This time when O'Shaugnessy returned he looked twice as glum, and the foreman asked if everything was alright.
'Bejeezuz Boss, its even worse news. That was my brother, and his mother died today too!'

Directors, producers can make you look good or make you look bad.

I don't do comedy so much although I would like to do a comedy.

I mean, the problem is, I think I'm a great writer.

Aaron Eckhart

I think America right now is looking for somebody who appeals to every faction.
Aaron Eckhart

I think every actor wants to be an FBI or cop at one point.

I think that maybe that's my weakness, in that I don't know how to do it, so I just do what I do and try to do it as passionately and as well as I can.
Aaron Eckhart

I think they are very important because westerns have a code and a symbolism.
Aaron Eckhart

I think women can be as cruel as men, and men as tender as women, and vice versa.

I would love to get great performances from actors as a director, because that's what I'm always looking for, a director that's going to help me go places I've never been before.

I'd like to do a romantic comedy.
Aaron Eckhart

I'd like to do more family dramas.
