Four years after I did in 1988 with Gabriel what he described as "the first totally honest and soul searching interview" he ever did, we hooked up again for the second of the interviews I include in full in my eBooks Gabriel Byrne: The Joe Jackson Interviews Plus. Here Gabriel soul-searching as ever talks about his claim that it took the birth of a child to make him aware of the worth of womanhood, children, his views on abortion, potential for violence, a tendency towards alcoholism, and the potential ability to annihilate himself. And, to think, he was happier at the time than at any point in his life with Ellen Barkin.
