More quotes by 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
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
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.
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
For me it's always been about the stories, not what medium. The medium is secondary to the stories.
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
My wife can see always how a part affects me personally because she has to live with it.
Cillian Murphy
With some films you can sort of slide in, get a haircut and you're in.
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
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
[We were very lucky that Sean [ Ellis ] researched the film [Anthropoid ] for many years.] We sort of piggybacked on his knowledge, and he gave us a lot of materials, which we read. For me, the greatest resource was actually shooting the film in Prague.
Cillian Murphy
I don't think they'd ever make a movie about Chuck Baker but I'd love to play Chuck Baker
Cillian Murphy
It's always nice to be challenged.
Cillian Murphy
I always think it's a sign of a truly gifted director when they can move seamlessly between genres.
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
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
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 think every director has a different methodology.
Cillian Murphy
I'd love to work in America, some of my favourite films come from America.
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.
