More quotes by 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
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
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
I'd love to work in America, some of my favourite films come from America.
Cillian Murphy
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.
Cillian Murphy
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
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 think it's necessary to keep moving forward. I've always said that nostalgia is death, really for anyone creative.
Cillian Murphy
The medium is secondary to the stories.
Cillian Murphy
For me it's always been about the stories, not what medium. The medium is secondary to the stories.
Cillian Murphy
I don't have a burning passion to live in America per se but I would certainly like to work there.
Cillian Murphy
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.
Cillian Murphy
I think every director has a different methodology.
Cillian Murphy
I'm terrible. I'm the wrong person to talk to, I really don't know a thing.
Cillian Murphy
There's always a level where you think you can improve and do better. Certainly at the beginning... I did four years of straight theater without ever having a part in a movie, and I remember being far more nervous on a film set than I was on the stage. It took a while for that to become less so.
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.
Cillian Murphy
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.
Cillian Murphy
You take the job very seriously and between action and cut, that's where your focus should be. And then there's a lot of levity in between and a lot of good fun.
Cillian Murphy
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
I try not to think retrospectively. It's important, as an artist, to look forward, always. I do try to take work that involves some challenge. If you approach a piece of work and you're going, Yeah, yeah, I can do that, then that's kind of a red flag.
