Cillian MurphyI 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 MurphyI've always felt kind of safe on stage, protected. I've talked to other performers about this and they feel the same things, particularly in the live arena. I never get nervous going on stage to do a play. Doing film or television I'll have more butterflies.

Cillian MurphyI'm kind of loath to pick one project over another or whatever. You go into every film sort of thinking it'll be your best work, and that's necessary.
