I don’t know if anyone will ever sit beside me on a plane again.

Cillian Murphy

There’s a lot of comedy in Intermission but it’s got this depth. It’s not comedy for comedy’s sake – it’s informed by something else. I like stuff like that

My only two constants are to challenge myself and to try not to repeat myself.

Challenge Myself Repeat
I personally think if something’s not a challenge there’s no point doing it because you’re not gonna learn much.

You 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.

I’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.

I think it’s necessary to keep moving forward. I’ve always said that nostalgia is death, really for anyone creative.

Creative Death Forward Move Myself Necessary Nostalgia Thinking
I try not to think retrospectively. It’s important, as an artist, to look forward, always. I do try to take work that involves some challenge. If you approach a piece of work and you’re going, “Yeah, yeah, I can do that,” then that’s kind of a red flag.

I’ve had the pleasure and the great luck to work with some incredible actors over the years and you have to observe and learn and take something from it and try and become better yourself.

I think if you play characters, it’s very important not to ever tag them with any sort of disorder, or diagnose them, or whatever. You have to normalize the behavior to get inside the character.

I suppose I’ve always been attracted to this sort of outsider in general – in literature, in music, politics, whatever – and to the person that is able to be relentlessly themselves. I don’t think that I have that quality, that strength of mind.

I’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.
