I think I do believe in the afterlife; I have heard stories from people who I can completely trust that have seen ghosts.

All teenagers want to rebel a little and break away. But I think you are always going to want to go back to your parents for that safety they provide.

I like films where there's a relationship between two women. I always think that's lovely to watch on the screen.

I like books that are exciting and that make you think about things as well.

I like my characters to be ones I think about long after I've finished reading the script.

I'm very much for strengthening our industry at home. It's great now there's a lot of work happening but I think with Irish film in particular, the views were starting to get a little stereotypical and we were pigeonholing ourselves a little bit. We needed to get out of that.

When I can't get the character out of my head, and I'm in my bedroom and I start to actually act out the scenes that I've read in a script, I think okay, I really want to do this.

I think when you get on with the actors that you're working with, even if you do have really intimate scenes, as long as you get on well, and have a bit of a laugh while doing it, then it's fine.

If I'm in the middle of a take and I start to think about what I'm doing, I just mess up and I have to stop and so I find that for me, you really need to trust your instinct.
