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.

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.
Domhnall Gleeson -
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.

My dad said, 'If no one was giving me acting work, I'd have to be prepared to create it myself.'
Domhnall Gleeson -
Two things are always happening in acting. On the one hand, it's a team sport. We're all pulling together. But on the other, you have to look after your own character. Guard their interests.

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 built like a leading man.

I like Philip Larkin an awful lot; I really like his view on life, and I really connect to it.

Just because I'm doing 'Star Wars' doesn't mean that'll be the thing that makes people stop me in the street.
Domhnall Gleeson -
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.

It was when I was on stage that I realized that acting could be such a brilliant job.

I got to work with Cillian Murphy and my dad, Jim Broadbent and Jodie Whittaker on 'Perrier's Bounty.' It was a small part, but it was really special.

I got very lucky with 'Harry Potter.' I got that role because I'm a ginger! Red hair was my only qualification!
Domhnall Gleeson -
Portraying as human the people you hear about on the news doing bad things is dangerous. But it's also necessary and important.
Domhnall Gleeson -
I do feel a wave come over me when I hear those two words, 'Star' and 'Wars,' said together. I feel tense, shut up, and stare into the middle distance.

As an actor, there's very little you can do if people don't want to see you. Just getting yourself into the room to audition is tough.

Everyone talks about how we're on our phones all the time, but the fact remains that when I'm away on a film set for two months, I can Skype my family. I remember the phone calls my parents had to make when my dad was away for a while when I was younger - that once-a-week expensive phone call! The time pressure on talking to your father!
Domhnall Gleeson -
The Coen brothers are amazing; they're special.
