I love tinted moisturiser. I feel like I'm wearing nothing when I'm wearing it, which is how I like to feel, but it still provides me with coverage - and it's got sunscreen in it, so I'm not worried about getting burnt.

I will never stop being excited about 'Harry Potter.'

'Harry Potter' is the first book that ever got me into reading. I had to read it in year 7, for school, and then I kept reading all of them.

You just have to find the people that you love, and surround yourself with them.

I have a dog and a cat, and they are best friends.

You don't have to be scared of what other people are thinking. You don't need to feel judged by other people.

I'm not really a storyteller myself - I tend to get all tangled up when I try and tell stories.

Ireland was a place for the renewal of hope and I still see it like that.

I never retreat from films, as it were, I simply indulge in other interests, that's all.

I'd always felt very strongly in the power of vocation.

For about a year, I just didn't know what to do. I did laboring jobs, working in the docks, construction sites.

I just knew at an early time in my life how important privacy was.

A voice is such a deep, personal reflection of character.

I'm not keen on history being tampered with... to any extent.

My preference is that, that day when someone sticks a tripod in front of you with a camera on the top, it is not day one.

England is obsessed with where you came from, and they are determined to keep you in that place, be it in a drawing room or in the gutter.

Where I come from, it was a heresy to say you wanted to be in movies, leave alone American movies.

As a member of the audience I don't like it that I can't see what's going on in the eyes and in the face and in the most subtle responses of a performer when I'm more than a few rows back. I find it very frustrating.

I can't honestly account for the very personal response that I have to one story and not another, a sense of an orbit, the orbit of a world that draws me as my own life recedes.

How people are around a director, it really does affect everything, every detail of the life of the movie.

I don't know what impression you might have of the way I live. I live in a quiet place. I do not live as a hermit, though other people would prefer it if I did.

I find it easier to work when it's quiet.

I hate wasting people's time.

I see a lot of movies. I love films as a spectator, and that's never obscured by the part of me that does the work myself. I just love going to the movies.
