The idea of being given things that you don't necessarily deserve was always a difficult one for me to negotiate, and so I really always felt that I had to prove myself. Being the daughter of a famous man I guess is more easy than being the daughter of a famous woman, but at the same time there was a sense of really, with me, of wanting to earn my own way.

I think most actors like to be liked.

I'm not really big on slapstick humor. I like gentle humor.

Going back to Ireland involves at least six to seven emotional breakdowns for me per day.

I am a person whose father had no religion but who went to the nuns for a couple of years. And I think I'm the same: On one hand, I pray; on the other hand, I don't believe. I am constantly between the two.

I don't think it's necessarily healthy to go into relationships as a needy person. Better to go in with a full deck.

It was great to work in Ireland because it's such a beautiful country, but it's not particularly easy to film in because the weather changes all the time.
