More quotes by Cillian Murphy
I think every director has a different methodology.
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
Then, at age 20, I discovered theater sort of by accident. Quite quickly, theater became more important to me than music. I began to realize that maybe my talents as a musician were quite limited, or had a ceiling to them, whereas acting seemed to sort of stretch before me. I got very passionate about it very quickly.
Cillian Murphy
The medium is secondary to the stories.
Cillian Murphy
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.
Cillian Murphy
I'm not interested in a good man's life. I'm interested in contradiction.
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
I always think it's a sign of a truly gifted director when they can move seamlessly between genres.

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 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
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'm Irish and very proud of being Irish, but as an actor, your extraction should be secondary, really. You should be able to embody whatever character it is, wherever the character comes from. That's always been important, for me. I'm an actor who's Irish, not an Irish actor.
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
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
I take my hat off to the ladies. The amount of grooming-plucking and shaving and all the other things men never have to do. I went down and spent time with transvestites in London in the clubs and all that. Got an insight to that world, and it's a mad world, but they are very warm and very open people. It was a great experience.
Cillian Murphy
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
You know, I'm a skinny Irish guy.
Cillian Murphy
It's always nice to be challenged.
