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

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

I was born in New York, so I'd love to study at New York University.

I think when you get on with the actors that you're working with, even if you do have really intimate scenes, as long as you get on well, and have a bit of a laugh while doing it, then it's fine.

I wouldn't go down the route of having an assistant. I don't want to be like that. I want to be normal.

I've always been quite an active person especially when I was younger. When I was in primary school, I used to play lots of sports. I was a sprinter and I did basketball and swimming and Gaelic football and things like that. So I always thought, I guess, that it would be fun to incorporate that much physical activity and work into a dramatic piece.

I don't look at rushes, or I don't go to the dailies. I don't even really look at playback unless it's an action scene or a move that I need to do better, something like that.
