I like the little bit of distance that London affords me and I like living in a world capital. I like having the culture at my fingertips.
CILLIAN MURPHYI like the little bit of distance that London affords me and I like living in a world capital. I like having the culture at my fingertips.
CILLIAN MURPHYFor me it’s always been about the stories, not what medium. The medium is secondary to the stories.
CILLIAN MURPHYI’m terrible. I’m the wrong person to talk to, I really don’t know a thing.
CILLIAN MURPHYYou need to be as clean of a slate as you can be, as an actor. You have to try to be open to every experience.
CILLIAN MURPHYI’m interested in pressure, I’m interested in duress. All the great works of art, or film or literature, in my opinion, have elements of those in them.
CILLIAN MURPHYI’ve never done a film for the money.
CILLIAN MURPHYThe best roles you have to fight for. You have to really want to do it and you have to go after it.
CILLIAN MURPHYI personally think if something’s not a challenge there’s no point doing it because you’re not gonna learn much.
CILLIAN MURPHYI think every director has a different methodology.
CILLIAN MURPHYI think any actor that says ‘I never watch my films’ is a liar because you have to watch it at least once and also you’re going to watch it when you’re doing your ADR.
CILLIAN MURPHYI’ve always felt kind of safe on stage, protected. I’ve talked to other performers about this and they feel the same things, particularly in the live arena. I never get nervous going on stage to do a play. Doing film or television I’ll have more butterflies.
CILLIAN MURPHYI like being at home with my music and my books. I’ve done all the partying, I’ve done enough partying for four or five people as a young fella. But now I like the quiet life.
CILLIAN MURPHYI don’t have a burning passion to live in America per se but I would certainly like to work there.
CILLIAN MURPHYI always think it’s a sign of a truly gifted director when they can move seamlessly between genres.
CILLIAN MURPHYThat’s what acting is about, Funny wigs and voices, that’s what we do.
CILLIAN MURPHYI’m pretty adamant to do an American accent because you get it immediately.
