I did 'Never Let Me Go,' and there were amazing people on that. Brilliant writer, director, cast. That was quite special.
Angelina Jolie is just an extremely talented, generous, nice person to be around and to work with.
Life is difficult for everyone; everyone has bad days. Everyone has trouble in their life, because it doesn't matter how rich you are: Sickness and trouble and worry and love, these things will mess with you at every level of life.
I'm not going to get better as an actor working on bad stuff.
I got to work with Cillian Murphy and my dad, Jim Broadbent and Jodie Whittaker on 'Perrier's Bounty.' It was a small part, but it was really special.
In 'Cavalry,' I had one scene where I was playing a pretty awful character.
The Coen brothers are amazing; they're special.
I worked with the Coen brothers, which had been a dream of mine.
I'm pleased to say I grew up in a happy family in Dublin. I feel we're very close.
It's hard to get people up and out to shows, but 'The Walworth Farce' has masses of energy and will attract a crowd who don't always come to the theatre, which is great.
'Punch-Drunk Love' is my favorite movie.
Everyone talks about how we're on our phones all the time, but the fact remains that when I'm away on a film set for two months, I can Skype my family. I remember the phone calls my parents had to make when my dad was away for a while when I was younger - that once-a-week expensive phone call! The time pressure on talking to your father!
The whole idea with acting is that you take some risks. And if you take some risks, you're really going to mess up sometimes. But it's not OK to mess up a movie; it's not OK to do that just so you can improve as an actor. But film-making takes a little bit of risk in every department.
I got very lucky with 'Harry Potter.' I got that role because I'm a ginger! Red hair was my only qualification!
Going home, spending time with the family, I feel they're my friends as well, all of them. I look forward to meeting any one of them for a coffee, and when we all get together, I just love it.
Look at Cillian Murphy: 'Batman,' 'Tron'... those are some heavy-hitting franchises. But he works his way around it. He manages to have a great career and a great life.
The rom-com genre is not something that necessarily lights my jets.
Often times, I just do a job and tell my agents, 'I'm in lockdown now.' I won't talk to anybody about anything else in the meantime, and I think that's generally the way to go because I also like to have a gap in between jobs.
I like Philip Larkin an awful lot; I really like his view on life, and I really connect to it.
When I was younger, my father told me not to pigeonhole the way that I perceive myself.
