All teenagers want to rebel a little and break away. But I think you are always going to want to go back to your parents for that safety they provide.

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.

The 1916 uprising was kind of the most important rebellion in Ireland's fight for independence that had been going on for 700 years. So it's a very important moment in history for us.

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

When I was younger, I was very athletic and I always loved sports and physical things.

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

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.
