I know most of the photographers in Ireland. And if I don't want my photograph taken, they will leave me alone.

When I am on set or rehearsing for the play, the only thing I can talk about is the work I'm doing. In that way, I home in on what I am doing at the time. So maybe I am a terrible multitasker.

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

I like books that are exciting and that make you think about things, as well.

Sometimes the director will want you to write about the character, sometimes he'll want you to live in the location that the character is from or something like that, but I don't usually make a lot of notes or anything like that.

I've never really felt like I was a child actor. Just an actor who happened to be quite young.

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.
