More quotes by Cillian Murphy
I'm terrible. I'm the wrong person to talk to, I really don't know a thing.
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'd probably have been wealthier if I had stayed with law, but pretty miserable doing it.
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
I try not to think retrospectively. It's important, as an artist, to look forward, always. I do try to take work that involves some challenge. If you approach a piece of work and you're going, Yeah, yeah, I can do that, then that's kind of a red flag.
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
And, for any performer, to be able to go deep into character is fantastic. In film you only get to do that if you're the leading character. But in television you get 18 hours to really test the audience and take them to the edge of how far they will go with this character. I can step over this line and I love that.
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
I think every director has a different methodology.
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
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 not interested in a good man's life. I'm interested in contradiction.
Cillian Murphy
For me it's always been about the stories, not what medium. The medium is secondary to the stories.
Cillian Murphy
For me, drama is conflict.
Cillian Murphy
I'm pretty adamant to do an American accent because you get it immediately.
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
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 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 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
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.
