When you get as lucky as I got, you have to work as hard as possible to earn that luck.

I've been working since I was 9, and I've never known a life without a film set.

I'm a serial monogamist. I'm not one of those people that can date loads of people at the same time, it's all too complicated.

I'm into weird kind of, anything that resembles magical realism.

My parents were what I like to call proper musical fans. Lots of Sondheim was played in the car.

I basically have the diet of a 19th-century Irish navy, apart from the litre of stout a day. It's meat and potatoes and bread and cheese: those are my four food groups.

I mean I've seen 3D films so far and I think it's a long way to go before they replace actors. It's a funny thing with 3D, I haven't quite got it yet. Yet.
