I’m at the stage where I don’t care if people think I am a terrific actor or a terrible actor. Obviously, with an actor, you want to be famous, you want people to admire you and to admire your talent, but that’s not where I am any more. Do I enjoy the job and is it a regular income? Those things are gold. And if people enjoy it, that’s terrific. Michael Galvin on self-acceptance, Sunday magazine, 24 April 2022
