Quote

I think it's important that we have strong, female characters in movies now, which can really leave an impression on people - especially young people - and that they're not 'sexy' or 'cool'.

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.

I don't feel isolated on a film set. In a way you do because you don't really mix with the outside world you're just sort of working non-stop for a few months, but you've got so many people around you.
Saoirse Ronan
Image
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.

I don't look at rushes, or I don't go to the dailies. I don't even really look at playback unless it's an action scene or a move that I need to do better, something like that.

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

My name means freedom in Irish.

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.

Once you move away from home, it's never quite the same again. You expect everything to be just as you left it, and it never is. It's almost the first step into adulthood, realising you've got to make your own way.

I've basically grown up with Harry Potter, as so many kids my age have. It's kind of a part of my life.

Image
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 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 love New Zealand. It's my favorite place to shoot. It's one of my favorite countries to visit. The people, the food, the landscape, everything about it I love.

Image
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.

Image
I don't know what kind of swag I'd get if I were extra Irish. It would just be, like, extra potatoes. Or like a free pint of Guinness.

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.

We've done a lot of films now about the IRA, we can move on from all that. I loved '71 because I think it showed a very honest trail and what it was actually like. It wasn't one-sided. I really respect ['71 director] Yann [Demange] for what he did. But we have done a lot of those things.

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

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

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