I like to get far away from myself when I'm acting.

I don't feel isolated on a film set. In a way you do because you don't really mix with the outside world; you're just sort of working non-stop for a few months, but you've got so many people around you.

I like to get far away from myself when I'm acting.

What we do every St. Patty's day, which is wear green and drink a lot of Guinness. And maybe cry a little bit and laugh, and everyone will have to sing a song. That's how every funeral, christening, and wedding ends up in Ireland. Everyone ends up having to sing a song by the end of it.

Acting is one of these things that I can't really describe - it's just like, why do you love your mum and dad? You know, you just do.

That's what acting is. You're pretending to be someone else.

My name means freedom in Irish.
