My whole life I try to make into a comedy, so it would be nice to see that onscreen.

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

Ivo van Hove is directing The Crucible, and rehearses in quite an unusual way. We started rehearsals last week and dived straight into the first act, like, five minutes after we all turned up. No warm-ups. We were very intensely immersed in that whole world on day one. It was quite surreal because I've never done any theater before.

I think acting is something that is within you. It's a very natural thing for me. It comes from myself, really.

It's too distracting to read about yourself. You want to be perfect and you want everyone to love you, and that's never going to happen.

When I was younger and in primary school, I'd do maybe a film a year, and I had to adapt to being away from everyone for a couple of months.

I did find New Zealand similar to Ireland. The people, obviously. I found that, ironically, although these two countries were very far away from each other, their humor was so similar and their outlook on things was quite similar as well.
