- After portraying Paul McCartney in a television movie, the two met by chance while staying at the same hotel and became real life friends.
- Was close friends with Natasha Richardson, his co-star in The Handmaid's Tale (1990). She named him as co-executor of estate in her will (2005).
- Greatly known for his work in theatre throughout Chicago, most notably in Robert Falls' production of "Hamlet". He now works in New York theater.
- His parents, Teresa and Michael Quinn, a professor of literature, were from Co. Offaly, Ireland. He was raised partly in Ireland.
- He was raised mainly in Chicago, Illinois and partially in Dublin, Ireland and his parents' home county of Offaly.
- I like the level of fame that I have. You get nice tables in restaurants sometimes, but fame isn't something that I find comfortable.
- I think my being such a nomad let me into acting. I was always having to create a new image whenever we moved.
- "I was on this remote island a thousand miles off the coast of Kenya. The island didn't have electricity, but some people had generators, and I went to someone's house and there was a video of Desperately Seeking Susan (1985) playing. I think it was the only frigging television on the whole island. That was very bizarre".
- I'm not a city kind of guy. I'm happiest when I'm tromping through the woods. That's why I don't live in Los Angeles. Being physically away from Hollywood probably loses me a few jobs, but the best ones seek me out.
- There was one moment in high school where I thought, "Maybe I'll take an acting class." And I walked in and saw all the quote unquote theatre people and I went, "Oh God," and walked out. But later, when I was 19, I actually took an acting class and I was very much smitten with it.
