My name means freedom in Irish.

I really want to go to college.

I would never want to move to L.A.

We grew up with a camera in front of us.

I've found that I'd be the first one to cut lines.

I like to get far away from myself when I'm acting.

I listen to everything. I love The Chemical Brothers.

If you don't have eyebrows, you don't really have a face.

I think if my child died I would prefer it if I were dead.

That's what acting is. You're pretending to be someone else.

I was born in New York, so I'd love to study at New York University.

I'm all right, not as good as my mom is. Maybe because I don't have kids.

Lindsay Lohan was the 'It' girl from, like, 14. That's a lot of pressure.

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

I love cleaning. I love mopping the floor. If you need your floor mopped, I'm there.

My whole life I try to make into a comedy, so it would be nice to see that onscreen.

When I was younger, I was very athletic and I always loved sports and physical things.

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

I've never really felt like I was a child actor. Just an actor who happened to be quite young.

The majority of teenagers don't even make eye contact with people, even people of the same age.

I've grown up with my parents' music tastes, listening to Fleetwood Mac and the Rolling Stones.

I'm Irish, so I'm messing all the time. Which means, I'm having a laugh. I'm always making jokes.

I've always wanted to act and I grew up a little on film sets when my dad was working as an actor.

I play basketball, I surf and swim and go to the cinema and listen to music and read. I like shopping.

I've been dealing with so much press for Brooklyn, and now I am rehearsing for a play, and it is hard.

I wouldn't go down the route of having an assistant. I don't want to be like that. I want to be normal.

I've basically grown up with Harry Potter, as so many kids my age have. It's kind of a part of my life.

Learning is the most important thing, no mater how you do it, or where you do it, or who you do it with.

I think acting is something that is within you. It's a very natural thing for me. It comes from myself, really.

I know most of the photographers in Ireland. And if I don't want my photograph taken, they will leave me alone.

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

For me, clothes are about individuality. When I wear things that are different and it works, it makes me feel good.

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

I don't think you could get anything worse than losing a child. I think if my child died, I would prefer it if I were dead.

Joe Wright was almost like a teacher, to be firm with me, that really stuck with me. And that helped me as I've gotten older.

I love a lot of comedy actors and actresses like Kristen Wiig and Tina Fey and all those women who are really brilliant and funny.

Vampire teeth really aren't very efficient, are they? It looks very messy. I'm not sure it's the best way to get a pint off anyone.

Acting is one of these things that I can't really describe - it's just like, why do you love your mum and dad? You know, you just do.

There's no one out there like Quentin Tarantino. His films have a signature look, and they never just stick to the same kind of story.

I don't know what kind of swag I'd get if I were extra Irish. It would just be, like, extra potatoes. Or like a free pint of Guinness.

It's too distracting to read about yourself. You want to be perfect and you want everyone to love you, and that's never going to happen.

When I was younger and in primary school, I'd do maybe a film a year, and I had to adapt to being away from everyone for a couple of months.

The written word can be powerful and beautiful - but films transport us to another place in a way that even the most evocative words never can.

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.

One of the things that would steer me away from a franchise is that I'm playing the same character all the time and I wouldn't want to be known for that.

I grew up my whole life in Ireland and obviously sound very, very Irish. I feel like it's just one of those things that just charms the socks off of people.

I love New Zealand. It's my favorite place to shoot. It's one of my favorite countries to visit. The people, the food, the landscape, everything about it I love.

It's very intimate. There are certain moments where it feels like it's just you and the lens. It's something that has been a very stable, consistent thing in my life.

There are a lot of people who say, 'Yeah yeah, I'm a feminist,' and they're not, actually. I wouldn't want to throw that word around, because it's a very strong thing.

'Romeo And Juliet' is the classic love story. When two lovers are separated and trying to get back to one another, that's fiercely romantic and something you become glued to.
