More quotes by Cillian Murphy
For me it's always been about the stories, not what medium. The medium is secondary to the stories.
Cillian Murphy
It's obvious that if you're going to play a character you need to amass information about that person and about their environment or their era that they're in and use as little or as much as necessary
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 always think it's a sign of a truly gifted director when they can move seamlessly between genres.
Cillian Murphy
I really feel actors should try and do as much diverse work as possible to try and keep it interesting.
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
I don't have a burning passion to live in America per se but I would certainly like to work there.
Cillian Murphy
All I've tried to do as an actor is follow the good writing. That's been my main drive. It's not always possible, so when you do come upon it, like when I came upon this, you realize pretty quickly this is something you need to be involved with.
Cillian Murphy
My only two constants are to challenge myself and to try not to repeat myself.
Cillian Murphy
I'd love to work in America, some of my favourite films come from America.
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
From a very young age I had an ambition to be a musician, and to do that professionally. That's what I pursued until I was about 20, playing in bands that were taken pretty seriously at that stage.
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
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
You know, I'm a skinny Irish guy.
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
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.
Cillian Murphy
I'm terrible. I'm the wrong person to talk to, I really don't know a thing.
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 like being at home with my music and my books. I’ve done all the partying, I’ve done enough partying for four or five people as a young fella. But now I like the quiet life.
Cillian Murphy
