I think 'Twilight' was such a phenomenon that it will be a while before anything like that will happen again. Cause it really influenced pop culture, and the stars of it - well, the people who became stars out of it - their lives were completely changed.

I'm Irish, so I'm messing all the time. Which means, I'm having a laugh. I'm always making jokes.

I like films where there's a relationship between two women. I always think that's lovely to watch on the screen.

I've been dealing with so much press for Brooklyn, and now I am rehearsing for a play, and it is hard.

I'm very much for strengthening our industry at home. It's great now there's a lot of work happening but I think with Irish film in particular, the views were starting to get a little stereotypical and we were pigeonholing ourselves a little bit. We needed to get out of that.

When I was younger, I would mess about and have a laugh with everyone. I was doing Atonement when I was about 12, and as we went to do this very serious scene, the director Joe [Wright] came up to me ... I'd been giggling right up to the beginning of the take. And he came up to me and said, "Okay, you need to be serious now." I completely idolized him.

I've always wanted to act and I grew up a little on film sets when my dad was working as an actor.
