For me it's always been about the stories, not what medium. The medium is secondary to the stories.
Cillian Murphy
Image
I'm interested in pressure, I'm interested in duress. All the great works of art, or film or literature, in my opinion, have elements of those in them.
Cillian Murphy
Image
I think it's necessary to keep moving forward. I've always said that nostalgia is death, really for anyone creative.

I don't think they'd ever make a movie about Chuck Baker but I'd love to play Chuck Baker
Cillian Murphy
Image
It's always nice to be challenged.
Cillian Murphy

I think every director has a different methodology.

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

My only two constants are to challenge myself and to try not to repeat myself.

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.

I think you fall out of love with theater while you're doing your eighth show of your eighteenth week and your body is saying, Please make this end.

I don't have a burning passion to live in America per se but I would certainly like to work there.

Image
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
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
Image
I think for me with theater, I need to take a break and then fall in love with it again. And then go do it again.
Cillian Murphy
Image
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.

You know, I'm a skinny Irish guy.

The best roles you have to fight for. You have to really want to do it and you have to go after it.
Cillian Murphy
Image
For me, drama is conflict.
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'd love to work in America, some of my favourite films come from America.
