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

I've found that I'd be the first one to cut lines.

I don't mind doing the whole red carpet thing when I have to when it comes to publicizing a movie. But besides that, I don't like those kinds of things at all. Celebrity status is not really something that appeals to me.

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

I think that when you're an actress, you have to think about what kind of a role model you're going to be. I hope that I'm a good role model for young girls. I'm not going to, if people still want me in their movies, I don't want to be one of these girls who goes around partying every night and is in rehab. I don't want to do that.

The written word can be powerful and beautiful - but films transport us to another place in a way that even the most evocative words never can.

I like books that are exciting and that make you think about things, as well. I like things that have a twist - like 'Atonement,' which I haven't read obviously, as I'm a bit young.
