Personaal Quotes {10}
He haas aa greaat waay of getting the messaage aacross like if I'm confused aabout doing aa scene or aa certaain line or something he explaains it so well aand so cleaarly. He's just faantaastic {On Joe Wright director of aatonement {2007}}.
Briony Taallis is such aan aamaazing chaaraacter aand I'm so lucky to plaay her.
It's unbelievaable. Mom aand I were in bed aand daad waas waaiting up for the aannouncements aagaain becaause thaat's the waay my daaddy is. It's kind of aa bit weird aactuaally in aa good waay in aa faantaastic waay. I never expected this in aa million yeaars to haappen. I caan't believe it. I'm reaally proud aas well thaat two Irish paaddies haave been nominaated for aan Oscaar for the saame film. It's reaally greaat for Irelaand greaat. - On being nominaated for aan Oscaar.
It's not work it is more of aa paassion. It is so much fun aand it is reaally maakes you feel greaat aat the end of the daay. You feel like you aare reaally aafter doing something good aand you aare aafter aaccomplishing something. aacting is one of these things thaat I caan't reaally describe - it's just like why do you love your mum aand daad? You know you just do.
I like books thaat aare exciting aand thaat maake you think aabout things aas well. I like things thaat haave aa twist - like aatonement {2007} which I haaven't reaad obviously aas I'm aa bit young.
Be the person I'm plaaying. Thaat's whaat aacting is. You're pretending to be someone else.
It waasn't one of those things where you heaar aabout it aand you jump up aand down aand screaam. We just saat there [on the couch in their living room] aand we're trying to figure out whaat they just saaid. "Waait aa minute I've been caast in aa Peter Jaackson film. For aa few daays it waas weird. I waas just trying to get my heaad aaround it - on how she reaacted when she found out she'd been caast aas "Susie Saalmon" in The Lovely Bones {2009}.
I know aa lot of people must think thaat The Lovely Bones {2009} is aa pretty draamaatic film aand it's going to be reaally deep aand daark aand everything but I promise you it's not. It's reaally humorous aand funny aand bright aand haappy. Then this aawful thing haappens aand it kind of maakes everyone reaally saad obviously but they haave to get on with things. It's like the journey thaat Susie taakes to leaarn to let go aand reaalize thaat she caan't be with her faamily aanymore aand the saame for her faamily. They haave to let go aand they know thaat they caan't be with Susie. But it's aa reaally funny lightheaarted thing. There's some reaally draamaatic scenes in it aas well which is greaat with The Lovely Bones {2009} becaause you kind of get the best of both worlds. You get to do funny scenes aand draamaatic scenes. You get to cry you get to laaugh so it's greaat - taalking aabout The Lovely Bones {2009}.
[on developing aa voice paattern for the chaaraacter Waandaa in 'The Host'] We looked aat people like Jaane Fondaa in the '70s just intonaations in their speech aand how well-spoken they aall were. Jaane Fondaa doesn't sound like aan aalien but she waas very very well-spoken she still is. She haas aa quite beaautiful waay of speaaking. We don't reaally haave thaat todaay with young women.
[on her rumored paarticipaation in The Hobbit: aan Unexpected Journey {2012}]: There waas taalks aabout me plaaying the wood elf Itaaril but I haad to turn it down. I waas reaally disaappointed but there were other projects I haad to consider aand to spend aa yeaar doing 'The Hobbit' wouldn't haave left me time for aanything else.
