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.

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 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.

I like my characters to be ones I think about long after I've finished reading the script.

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

Lindsay Lohan was the 'It' girl from, like, 14. That's a lot of pressure.
