Zitat des Tages von Domhnall Gleeson:
I tend to play 'tortured' a lot, whether it's physically or emotionally.
I don't go to premieres I'm not involved in.
Normally, in a film with lots of twists and turns, half of them don't make sense; they're just there for their own sakes.
Every actor is like, 'I could direct!'
There's so many good comic actors that you just take the best of and try and run with it yourself. Try and bring a little bit of yourself to it, too.
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.
'Star Wars' is different to anything I've done before.
I'm certainly a young actor. I'm certainly those two things. Actually, I'm not even young anymore; I'm 29. So, I'm an actor.
I did like 'Star Wars' when I was a kid. I saw the prequels first; I didn't see the full original films first all the way through.
The rom-com genre is not something that necessarily lights my jets.
If there's one person in the world with whom a chemistry read is unnecessary, it's Rachel McAdams.
The Olympia was a really special place for me as a kid. I saw Dad perform there so many times, so it means a lot.
Most of the time, I do what I'm offered, but after I worked for it. I think I try much harder for the things that scare me and inspire me. The things that scare and inspire you are things that are different from what you did before.
Has anybody seen 'The Notebook' and not cried? I don't know, I don't know if that's the case. It sort of hangs around for a while.
Just because I'm doing 'Star Wars' doesn't mean that'll be the thing that makes people stop me in the street.
I'd seen my dad on stage, and that was fine, but the real excitement was - that was my dad. Even now, when I see his films, he's always my favourite person in the movie.
I get asked to give stuff to my dad. I'm, like, 'I'm not gonna pass your script to him!' You know? My dad's my dad. I'm not his agent.
Really, all I worry about is the work in hand.
'Black Mirror,' I read that, and I had another offer for a movie at the same time that was a bigger movie, an actual film as opposed to TV, but I said, 'No, it has to be Black Mirror.' And it hadn't been sold to Netflix, hadn't gone abroad at that point - but it's just good work - that's all there is to it.
I'd been very certain about not wanting to do the acting thing because of my father. I thought I'd always have the father-son thing of 'He got you the part.'
The idea of having dreams that don't come true is really terrifying.
I watched a couple of films I was in and thought, 'Those are pretty close to what we wanted them to be. I feel actually weirdly OK with it all. I can still see flaws in what I'm doing, but I think I delivered. I think I improved the film with my presence.'
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.
I'm not built like a leading man.
The Coen brothers are amazing; they're special.
I'm pretty lowbrow. It's a failing.
I stand to learn more working as an actor with really talented people than I do by directing a feature.
There is something wonderful about turning up every day and knowing that not just the character but the whole movie kind of rests on your shoulders. And there's great satisfaction when you think it's going well and then real terror when you think it's not.
I'd rather do one day on a really cool movie than six months on something crap.
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.
Though rom-coms aren't necessarily my cup of tea, I was a huge fan of 'Notting Hill.' I laughed a lot, and the romance got to me.
I'm not going to get better as an actor working on bad stuff.
I like films that are gritty and hard-hitting and suspenseful. Thrillers, too.
