He was on Ryan Tubridy's radio show this AM. Click on "listen to the latest show"...you might need Real Player for it to play...not sure... Be patient the interview comes in at about 7 minutes (right after John Lennon singing "Woman"...one of GB's favorite songs I read somewhere) He was in bed for the interview...a lot of personal insight on a lot of issues...I adore this man.... http://www.rte.ie/radio1/thetubridyshow/ -- -- Edited by alithecat at 09/12/2008 7:28 AM PDT

Gabriel opens up on new life plan ? to look on the bright side
By Donal Hickey
TO be grateful for the simple things ? that?s the philosophy of acclaimed actor Gabriel Byrne who says he?s trying to be happier in the second half of his life than he was in the first.
?Someone once said that if you want to be happy, you must decide to be happy. I try to do that,? he said yesterday.
?I try to do the small things to make myself a little bit happier. You get out of bed and say ?I?m able to get out of bed?. That?s a wonderful start to the day.
?Take as much joy out of the simple things as much as you possibly can ? the big things are all out there.
?I?m a firm believer in the old adage that it could be an awful lot worse.?
The 58-year-old Dubliner, now living in New York, was at the Dingle Film Festival last night to accept the first Gregory Peck Award for excellence in film.
He recalled an unexpected and moving encounter in New York a few months ago. After rounding a corner, he saw a mother and daughter ? a beautiful girl about 14-years-old on crutches. It was clear one of the girl?s legs had recently been amputated.
?It just struck me that anything we take for granted can be taken away from us,? said Byrne.
Interviewed on The Tubridy Show on RTÉ Radio, he said we live in an envy-driven society.
?What we have isn?t enough or things like if I had that I would be happy? or if I had that guy?s money I would be happy.?
Admitting that he had made mistakes and that he was not as content as he should have been in his 20s and 30s, he said he had looked at all the things that made him unhappy.
?I try to live the second half happier ? not a bad ambition, I think.?
He agreed with a saying by an English comedian that people should enjoy every day as if it was their last and one day they would be right. The late actor Gregory Peck?s grandmother, Catherine Ashe, hailed from the Dingle Peninsula and members of his family were in Kerry for last night?s presentation.
Byrne, recently nominated for an Emmy award, recalled meeting Peck when he first went to Hollywood more than 20 years ago. He and Peck did readings from Irish novels in libraries around Los Angeles.
He said Peck?s life-long connection with Dingle was very strong and not just of the sentimental or nostalgic variety.
?There was something in it [the connection] that gave him some kind of sustenance ? his people went to America in very difficult times.?

> He has a great laugh. But sarcasm does not work
> too well over the phone.
That was exactly why I got confused as to why he said he got up for the "six o'clock Mass" - I was listening to this late at night, so I didn't really have much energy to catch the sarcasm.

Didn't he say he had awaken early to run 40 miles but that the last 15 were the hardest? LOL I laughed. I also thought it was funny that he admitted that he was still in bed and the curtains were closed - I figured he was either up late or out late the night before.
Has anyone else noticed that there's something free and easy about his laugh? When he laughs it seems like it isn't forced or controlled, just a genuine laugh. I like that.

Thanks a bunch for posting this delightful radio interview, Ali. Could GB be any more adorable? I think not...he's very insightful and very soulful as usual. Loads of wit and charm to boot. Thanks again for sharing.

Nice to hear his voice again, thanks for the treat Ali.
I really can listen to this man for hours on end, I think. His thoughts are always so fluent and polished and he always seems to have something interesting to add to all of his interviews. I like what he said about the whole Emmy sentiment, his honesty is refreshing.
Then there's the obvious that goes without saying ... Can you imagine waking up and hearing that beautiful voice first thing in the morning?

What a wonderful interview. I love the way he weaves stories about others, i.e, Gregory Peck, George C. Scott, John Frankenheimer into his interviews. There something intimate about it. Ack !!! He's too charming for words.......
