I think it's necessary to keep moving forward. I've always said that nostalgia is death, really for anyone creative.

More quotes by Cillian Murphy
I think every director has a different methodology.
Cillian Murphy
I really feel actors should try and do as much diverse work as possible to try and keep it interesting.
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 don't have a burning passion to live in America per se but I would certainly like to work there.
Cillian Murphy
I suppose I've always been attracted to this sort of outsider in general - in literature, in music, politics, whatever - and to the person that is able to be relentlessly themselves. I don't think that I have that quality, that strength of mind.
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'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
My only two constants are to challenge myself and to try not to repeat myself.
Cillian Murphy
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.
Cillian Murphy
For me it's always been about the stories, not what medium. The medium is secondary to the stories.
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 personally think if something's not a challenge there's no point doing it because you're not gonna learn much.
Cillian Murphy
I think for me with theater, I need to take a break and then fall in love with it again. And then go do it again.
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
My wife can see always how a part affects me personally because she has to live with it.
Cillian Murphy
I'm not interested in a good man's life. I'm interested in contradiction.
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
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 always think it's a sign of a truly gifted director when they can move seamlessly between genres.
Cillian Murphy
I think you fall out of love with theater while you're doing your eighth show of your eighteenth week and your body is saying, Please make this end.
