I like being 30. I wouldn't want to do the twenties again. They are their own entity.
Celebrity has lost its value - all you have to do is go on a reality TV show for six weeks and everybody knows your name.
When I was a kid, you listened to a certain genre. Now it's like, "I love indie rock, I love hip-hop, jazz, funk." Also, we knew it couldn't be the same thing each year.
I'm part of the Ipod generation. I got 10,000 tracks from all over the world.
You really have to work harder to come up with new ways to play the scenes.
You really have to keep people interested, at all times, until the punch comes. You can do that with a film that lasts 90 to 100 minutes. That's very difficult to do at 160 minutes.
For me, I felt bad for people asking the questions, cause you know their boss sent them out saying, 'Get me something on Mission Impossible.' And you ask the question, and it's just a polite, 'I'm not going to tell you.' Then, every so often, they'd go, 'Well, can't you just tell us a little bit?' I have to say, 'You know what guys, I'm under contract and I'm not going to tell you anything.' So you keep asking the questions and I'm just going to keep smiling. And it's hard, cause I don't want to seem rude, but it's part of my job just like it's part of their job to keep a secret.
There's not much of a difference shooting something for TV and shooting something for film; the difference is film is in a cinema and TV is in your home.
I don't live in Ireland, I live in London with my girlfriend; and it's because of the globalization of our planet, it's not necessary to live in Los Angeles to be a successful and any country is just an airplane ride away. If there's a director who wants to meet me or if there's something I have to do, I can just hop on an airplane - the world's small now.
If I wasn't so insecure about myself I wouldn't work as hard as I do. I am constantly seeking approval.
I didn't use a phone until I was 14.
I got paid 20 grand for my first film. And that's the lowest I ever got paid.
I completely believe that I will produce my best work and my best work will come in my thirties.
