The Actors I Looked Up To When

We Moved To Ireland When I Was Two And We Settled In Killarney, Co Kerry. Where We Were Living In Germany Is Very Industrial And Very Grey And My Parents Wanted To Have Countryside Around For My Sister And I To Grow Up In.

We Did A Lot Of That In Drama School: Intellectualising And Maybe Justifying Your Position. 'i Am A Thinking Actor And I Have Thought This Through' - Well, Just Do It. I Much Prefer The Doing Aspect.

My Goal Was For Acting To Become My Main Income. I Would Say To Myself, 'i'm Good Enough'. That Became My Mantra.

Why Does A Three-year-old, And It's Usually Boys, Want To Drive The Tractor Or Have Machinery And Be In Control Of It? I Don't Know. Why Wouldn't You Ask To Boil A Kettle Or Something? Maybe You Would, I Dunno.

There's No Point Thinking, 'well, My Life's Certainly Worked Out, I've Got All The Answers.' It Would Be Wrong For Me To Say That I Don't Get Seduced By Certain Things. That Things Don't Become Tempting.
