But now I really don't want to work unless I really, really care about a project.

I spent a lot of time not in school, so I didn't have deep relationships with kids my own age.

Just to set the record straight, a salary for a given on-screen performance does not include the right to invade anyone’s privacy, to destroy someone’s sense of self.

I was raised with a single mom and we had a very specific, very particular relationship. She worked with me and my job. I was almost three and we traveled everywhere together and she was really in my life in a really profound way. The most significant relationship of my life. It was beautiful and also an incredible, difficult struggle. I know how creative that life is, and how difficult it is to figure it out.

I've worked with Neil Jordan, who I really adore. We did The Brave One [2007] together.

I can't imagine ever not doing [acting]. I would feel like I would have lost a limb. But I am older now, and sometimes I wonder who I would have been and what about me would have changed had I not had these experiences as a young person

I've only been to Dublin once, and I had a great time. I got completely soaked because it was rainy.
