I like the little bit of distance that London affords me and I like living in a world capital. I like having the culture at my fingertips.

More quotes by Cillian Murphy

Image
For me, drama is conflict.
Cillian Murphy
Image
It's obvious that if you're going to play a character you need to amass information about that person and about their environment or their era that they're in and use as little or as much as necessary
Cillian Murphy
Image
You need to be as clean of a slate as you can be, as an actor. You have to try to be open to every experience.
Cillian Murphy
Image
I'm terrible. I'm the wrong person to talk to, I really don't know a thing.
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.

For me it's always been about the stories, not what medium. The medium is secondary to the stories.

I feel very lucky to be making good work still. The confidence of youth, or that sort of competitiveness you get when you're 22 or 23, the impatience - that's probably been tempered. Hopefully I'm slightly better company.
Cillian Murphy
Image
My only two constants are to challenge myself and to try not to repeat myself.
Cillian Murphy
Image
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.

It's always nice to be challenged.
Cillian Murphy
Image
I'm kind of loath to pick one project over another or whatever. You go into every film sort of thinking it'll be your best work, and that's necessary. I think in this business, you really have to be forward-looking the whole time. I think nostalgia is sort of the death knell for any artist.

I don't have a burning passion to live in America per se but I would certainly like to work there.
Cillian Murphy
Image
It was very much about performances, the whole ensemble thing was just great - everybody working together. Sometimes it didn't feel like a film set. It wasn't technically driven, it was very, very enjoyable
Cillian Murphy
Image
The best roles you have to fight for. You have to really want to do it and you have to go after it.

I come from a long line of teachers. Not only did I not go into the family business I had an aborted law career and I played in bands. 'Disco Pigs' was my first professional acting experience.

I think every director has a different methodology.
Cillian Murphy
Image
I'm not interested in a good man's life. I'm interested in contradiction.
Cillian Murphy
Image
From a very young age I had an ambition to be a musician, and to do that professionally. That's what I pursued until I was about 20, playing in bands that were taken pretty seriously at that stage.

I really feel actors should try and do as much diverse work as possible to try and keep it interesting.

My wife can see always how a part affects me personally because she has to live with it.
