Quote

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

More quotes by 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.

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

Image
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's always nice to be challenged.
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.

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.

I'd probably have been wealthier if I had stayed with law, but pretty miserable doing it.

You know, I'm a skinny Irish guy.

I'm not interested in a good man's life. I'm interested in contradiction.

I'm pretty adamant to do an American accent because you get it immediately.

I'm terrible. I'm the wrong person to talk to, I really don't know a thing.
Cillian Murphy
Image
There's a lot of comedy in Intermission but it's got this depth. It's not comedy for comedy's sake - it's informed by something else. I like stuff like that
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.

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.

I don't think they'd ever make a movie about Chuck Baker but I'd love to play Chuck Baker

There's this thing that's come about that wasn't there when I started acting which is they do this thing called a chemistry test. They put a camera in front of two people, it's usually a boy and a girl, and they go, [whispering]. It's impossible. You can't manufacture it or film it, it just has to happen.

In terms of trying to improve as an actor, for me it's always important to return to the stage. After doing a piece of theater for a prolonged period, I can think I must have surely improved in some way as an actor - you must be fitter than you were prior to doing it. For me, theater is very, very important in keeping things fresh and dangerous.

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.

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.

With some films you can sort of slide in, get a haircut and you're in.
