Quote

When I can't get the character out of my head, and I'm in my bedroom and I start to actually act out the scenes that I've read in a script, I think okay, I really want to do this.

I don't think you could get anything worse than losing a child. I think if my child died, I would prefer it if I were dead.

Learning is the most important thing, no mater how you do it, or where you do it, or who you do it with.

My whole life I try to make into a comedy, so it would be nice to see that onscreen.

Lindsay Lohan was the 'It' girl from, like, 14. That's a lot of pressure.

I certainly don't feel like I am desperate to run away from a film set. I love the hustle and bustle. Everything is sort of mad right before a take, and then it just settles, and you've got these two minutes of a bit of magic. I just love that in film.

I think when you get on with the actors that you're working with, even if you do have really intimate scenes, as long as you get on well, and have a bit of a laugh while doing it, then it's fine.

Sometimes the director will want you to write about the character, sometimes he'll want you to live in the location that the character is from or something like that, but I don't usually make a lot of notes or anything like that.

I like films where there's a relationship between two women. I always think that's lovely to watch on the screen.

There's no one out there like Quentin Tarantino. His films have a signature look, and they never just stick to the same kind of story.

I've found that I'd be the first one to cut lines.

I'm very much for strengthening our industry at home. It's great now there's a lot of work happening but I think with Irish film in particular, the views were starting to get a little stereotypical and we were pigeonholing ourselves a little bit. We needed to get out of that.

If I'm in the middle of a take and I start to think about what I'm doing, I just mess up and I have to stop and so I find that for me, you really need to trust your instinct.

It's too distracting to read about yourself. You want to be perfect and you want everyone to love you, and that's never going to happen.

I think 'Twilight' was such a phenomenon that it will be a while before anything like that will happen again. Cause it really influenced pop culture, and the stars of it - well, the people who became stars out of it - their lives were completely changed.

I did find New Zealand similar to Ireland. The people, obviously. I found that, ironically, although these two countries were very far away from each other, their humor was so similar and their outlook on things was quite similar as well.

I like to get far away from myself when I'm acting.

I like my characters to be ones I think about long after I've finished reading the script.

I think I do believe in the afterlife I have heard stories from people who I can completely trust that have seen ghosts.

There's so many modern films where the fans take one side or the other. I'm hoping this isn't going to be like that I'm hoping it isn't that kind of film at all. What I would love for the audience to take from it is to understand why she was so stuck in the middle and confused.
