If you behave like a celebrity, then people will treat you like a celebrity, and if you don't, they won't. There's not much to write about me in the tabloids.

More quotes by Cillian Murphy
I never make a distinction between doing a film in Hollywood or doing a film independently. It's just the story. It's always the story for me. The constants are that it should challenge me and I shouldn't repeat myself. And the story should always be a story worth telling.
Cillian Murphy
All I've tried to do as an actor is follow the good writing. That's been my main drive. It's not always possible, so when you do come upon it, like when I came upon this, you realize pretty quickly this is something you need to be involved with.
Cillian Murphy
You know, I'm a skinny Irish guy.
Cillian Murphy
I think every director has a different methodology.
Cillian Murphy
We were able to shoot in a lot of the locations where the mission actually happened and these guys existed, so that was kind of very affecting. We had a Czech crew and a lot of Czech actors. There's a great deal of authenticity to the project [Anthropoid], and Sean [Ellis] was very anxious that that was the case from the beginning.
Cillian Murphy
I always think it's a sign of a truly gifted director when they can move seamlessly between genres.
Cillian Murphy
I personally think if something's not a challenge there's no point doing it because you're not gonna learn much.
Cillian Murphy
The medium is secondary to the stories.
Cillian Murphy
Every Irish person of my generation and earlier, we were raised Catholic and we'd have to learn it in school, we'd to learn the catechism by rote.
Cillian Murphy
For me it's always been about the stories, not what medium. The medium is secondary to the stories.
Cillian Murphy
I suppose I've always been attracted to this sort of outsider in general - in literature, in music, politics, whatever - and to the person that is able to be relentlessly themselves. I don't think that I have that quality, that strength of mind.
Cillian Murphy
[We were very lucky that Sean [ Ellis ] researched the film [Anthropoid ] for many years.] We sort of piggybacked on his knowledge, and he gave us a lot of materials, which we read. For me, the greatest resource was actually shooting the film in Prague.
Cillian Murphy
I'm pretty adamant to do an American accent because you get it immediately.
Cillian Murphy
I'd love to work in America, some of my favourite films come from America.
Cillian Murphy
I'm not interested in a good man's life. I'm interested in contradiction.
Cillian Murphy
My wife can see always how a part affects me personally because she has to live with it.
Cillian Murphy
I like being at home with my music and my books. I’ve done all the partying, I’ve done enough partying for four or five people as a young fella. But now I like the quiet life.
Cillian Murphy
I think it's necessary to keep moving forward. I've always said that nostalgia is death, really for anyone creative.
Cillian Murphy
It seemed to work on camera. And there's very few films - because you make a lot of films and you meet people and you work very intensely and intimately and then you're gone - but there's a few where you actually make friends, and this [The Fall] was one.
Cillian Murphy
I was obsessed with Batman as a kid. I did the film in part just to be near the Batmobile. But I also think [director] Christopher Nolan made a very fine, intelligent film.
