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

My biggest ambition is never to be bored. I'm not aggressive enough to strongly run after being an actress.

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.

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.

I like it when you read a script and there's the part that you show to the other characters and then there's the part that only the audience knows.

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

Age is not enviable in America. It's not applauded all that strongly. You have to take it all with a grain of salt.
