Zitat des Tages von Caitriona Balfe:
I think every credit you get and every film you have your name attached to makes things a little bit easier. It definitely opens doors up, but it's still a grind.
I think women today are really struggling with these dual roles: How do you have a full-time career and be ambitious and still take care of your family?
Modelling wasn't a passion of mine, so that made it get old kind of quickly. I was getting very frustrated.
It's great to play someone who's so unafraid of being who she is.
With a male-centric show, the women are usually very two-dimensional.
When I was 18, I left Dublin and moved to Paris. I didn't speak French. I didn't know anyone. I felt like a fish out of water.
I think the first role I ever played was Mr. Bumble in a production of 'Oliver.'
I have two incredible sisters who have very high-powered jobs and kids and, you know, both have their master's; one runs triathlons all the time.
'Game of Thrones' has multiple story lines, multiple countries, and it's complete fantasy.
I would've been a really big silent movie star.
The herbalist I met a few times - it was great - she gave me literature about the different processes that an herbalist would do to make medicines from certain herbs and things.
I'm just so glad that I started acting when I did because I had this wealth of life experience. I don't know if I'd have been able to handle it had I gone out to L.A. at 22.
It's true, you never forget your first love, and, for me, that will always be Paris.
The people who used to hold the purse strings were a select group of white, middle-aged men, but that's changing, and the more it continues to change, the more we'll see inclusive stories get told.
The hardest part when I decided to move into acting was trusting I'd made the right decision.
I'm kind of a private person.
When we think about the past, we think, 'It must have been so boring.' It's actually not.
Many children with cancer in the developing world can be cured. But without appropriate treatment, few survive.
So often, women are there just to be looked at and be objectified for the titillation of the male audience.
It's a hard thing to imagine how somebody copes with grief and at the same time has to build a new life.
I never thought of myself doing period. When you're in your acting classes, and you think about the kind of roles you want to play, it's always 'modern relationship drama'-type things.
I would love to do some theater.
New York's definitely got my heart.
When I'm not on a crazy schedule, I'll try to do yoga or the gym once or twice a week.
I saw a documentary on the Naadam festival that happens in Mongolia during the summer. One of the features of it is a horse race across the plains that all the young men enter - some as young as 12 years old. It's such a spectacular sight. It's incredible to think that this is a tradition that has been going on for centuries.
