My Name Means Freedom In Irish.

I Like To Get Far Away From Myself When I'm Acting.

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 Was 12 And I Remember Every­thing. I Mean, I Had Done Two Films Before That. The First Was Actually With Amy Heckerling. It Was So Brilliant To Work With Her On My First Film. Atonement Was The Third One I'd Done, And I Remember How It Felt To Arrive On Set Every Day. I Remember How It Felt To Get My Wig Off At The End Of The Day. I Remember How Hot It Was.

When I Am On Set Or Rehearsing For The Play, The Only Thing I Can Talk About Is The Work I'm Doing. In That Way, I Home In On What I Am Doing At The Time. So Maybe I Am A Terrible Multitasker.

I've Grown Up With My Parents' Music Tastes, Listening To Fleetwood Mac And The Rolling Stones.
