More quotes by 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.
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
And once you're unafraid with death, I think your capacity for violence is immediately increased. Once you're unafraid of death, you are a very, very dangerous adversary
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
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'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
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 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
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
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 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'd love to work in America, some of my favourite films come from America.
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
You know, I'm a skinny Irish guy.
Cillian Murphy
For me it's always been about the stories, not what medium. The medium is secondary to the stories.
Cillian Murphy
I feel very lucky to be making good work still. The confidence of youth, or that sort of competitiveness you get when you're 22 or 23, the impatience - that's probably been tempered. Hopefully I'm slightly better company.
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 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
I don't think they'd ever make a movie about Chuck Baker but I'd love to play Chuck Baker
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.
