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'm very much for strengthening our industry at home. It's great now there's a lot of work happening but I think with Irish film in particular, the views were starting to get a little stereotypical and we were pigeonholing ourselves a little bit. We needed to get out of that.

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

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

I love cleaning. I love mopping the floor. If you need your floor mopped, I'm there.

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.
