Mom and Dad

"I grew up as the third of four children in a working-class Catholic family in Ballymena, Northern Ireland, in the decade before the outbreak of the political conflict that everyone called "The Troubles". I'm not saying that we live in a shoebox. No, it was basically a small terraced house with two houses next to each other. Upstairs and downstairs rooms ", Liam told 2022.
"But money was always hard to come by , even though both of my parents were working. My Dad Bernhard (born 1917 and deceased 1988) was an elementary school caretaker and my mom Katherine (born 1926 and deceased 2020) was a helped serve up the grub for the kids at lunchtime, endlessly washing dishes at the school for more than thirty years . She walked to work on foot every day. No matter what the weather was. There and back a total of just around two kilometers, and on the way home she carried the leftovers that she was allowed to take from school and we got for dinner in the evening. I learned early on from my mother that you keep your job because you need it to live, not because you love it. I often wonder what will become of our children, whether they will have as much stamins as my mother."
"I was asked if I was a strict father. I think you should ask my sons that. I think I'm very disciplined, but I've always tried not to be too strict. I would rather say that I am a fair and conservative father. Traditional rules in parenting are very important to me. The good thing is that we talk to each other a lot. We trust each other, and that's really important. I think my sons know that no matter what happens, I will always be there for them. What Natasha and I have always wanted to achieve, is that we teach Micheál and Daniel decency so that they know how to behave. That may sounds quite normal, but I have heard from many people 'How nice, your sons look straight in the eyes when you talk to them. They are so polite and have manners' , and when I hear something like that it makes me very proud. Respecting my fellow human beings is something I always do and it's important to me. And I want my son's to do the same."

Maidin mhaith a stór Liam, guím lá iontach síochánta oraibh agus tá súil agam go mbeidh cupán tae ag an mbeirt againn le chéile go luath.  Sin an t-aon mhian atá agam fós.

The Day the Music Died

My little series about Liam Neeson is growing and is being read with pleasure by my followers on Instagram and Facebook. I am very pleased that the fans are enjoying this little series, which already has almost 200 parts.  Yes, I am proud of this little work because it proved to myself that I am not as stupid and superfluous as many people have told me.  Yesterday I told in my 199th part about how Liam experienced the moment when he heard that John Lennon was shot:  Liam told in September 2017 in an interview how he experienced the death of John Lennon: "I have to say there's a part of me that died when John Lennon was shot, with regards to listening to popular music. I just could not get over it. " "When John Lennon in December 8.1980 was shot, I was on stage with Stephen Rea. We are doing this Brain Freeland play, and we were touring Ireland with it. " "I remember we were playing a week in Dublin and I was sharing a dre...

How I Became a Liam Neeson Fan!

I have been a Steven Spielberg fan since the 1970s. Almost from the very first hour, and I eagerly awaited all of his films.  When Steven Spielberg first talked about making a film about Oskar Schindler around 1990, I was thrilled. Because I had learned a lot about this remarkable person at school.  When the name Liam Neeson was mentioned my first reaction was 'Liam who?'  I had never heard of this, what was the name, Liam Neeson... and believe me, it was the early 1990s. A completely different decade... No, a completely different century. No internet where you could quickly look up who this certain Liam Neeson is! You had to wait until some specialist magazine for the cinema world appeared. No matter whether printed in German or English.  This is how the information was obtained at the time!  When the film "Schindler's List" finally came out in 1994, I went to the cinema three times in one week. The first time because it was a Steven Spielberg film ...

What people say about Liam

Bild
  I discovered a wonderful interview from 1994 that was conducted with Liam and Natasha during the filming of "Rob Roy" a while ago. I think I even mentioned it here...  The interview also featured some of Liam's associates, with whom he has professional and personal contact. Among those who spoke were directors Steven Spielberg and Michael Apted, a personal collaborator of Liam and a good friend who has been with Liam for over 40 years.  Steven Spielberg said about Liam, " When Liam plays a role he stops being Liam Neeson. " "Behind the scenes or when he comes out of the make-up van, he's completely detached from his personality. He is then Oskar Schindler, he is then fully and completely the character he will play. There is no forward or backward for Liam at the moment. Only this one moment in which he finds,  this is this 'now moment '. That is his way to working. " "When I say 'Action' he immediately...
