The majority of teenagers don't even make eye contact with people, even people of the same age.
Saoirse Ronan -
I think acting is something that is within you. It's a very natural thing for me. It comes from myself, really.

I remember being on Atonement and it felt very right to be there. There was so much excitement every day. I remember very vividly how it felt to be a child on a film set, and that is actually really important to hold on to for as long as you continue to make films.
Saoirse Ronan -
I saw 'Clueless' probably when I was about 8 or 9 years old. And, I had certain films that I would fall asleep so it was 'Clueless' for quite a long time, and I used to just watch it every single night and knew every single line, every single quote.
Saoirse Ronan -
I like books that are exciting and that make you think about things, as well.
Saoirse Ronan -
I've always been quite an active person especially when I was younger. When I was in primary school, I used to play lots of sports. I was a sprinter and I did basketball and swimming and Gaelic football and things like that. So I always thought, I guess, that it would be fun to incorporate that much physical activity and work into a dramatic piece.
Saoirse Ronan -
We've done a lot of films now about the IRA, we can move on from all that. I loved '71 because I think it showed a very honest trail and what it was actually like. It wasn't one-sided. I really respect '71 director Yann Demange for what he did. But we have done a lot of those things.
Saoirse Ronan -
I've always wanted to act and I grew up a little on film sets when my dad was working as an actor.

That's what acting is. You're pretending to be someone else.
Saoirse Ronan -
The 1916 uprising was kind of the most important rebellion in Ireland's fight for independence that had been going on for 700 years. So it's a very important moment in history for us.
Saoirse Ronan -
I'm a huge Wes Anderson fan. I literally love every single film. He hasn't made a bad film; I've seen every single one. They've all been brilliant, from 'Bottle Rocket' up to 'Moonrise Kingdom,' they've all been wonderful.
Saoirse Ronan -
For me, clothes are about individuality. When I wear things that are different and it works, it makes me feel good.
Saoirse Ronan -
I think if my child died I would prefer it if I were dead.
Saoirse Ronan -
Joe Wright was almost like a teacher, to be firm with me, that really stuck with me. And that helped me as I've gotten older.

Acting is one of these things that I can't really describe - it's just like, why do you love your mum and dad? You know, you just do.
Saoirse Ronan -
I don't look at rushes, or I don't go to the dailies. I don't even really look at playback unless it's an action scene or a move that I need to do better, something like that.
Saoirse Ronan -
I love a lot of comedy actors and actresses like Kristen Wiig and Tina Fey and all those women who are really brilliant and funny.
Saoirse Ronan -
I'm Irish, so I'm messing all the time. Which means, I'm having a laugh. I'm always making jokes.
Saoirse Ronan -
Once you move away from home, it's never quite the same again. You expect everything to be just as you left it, and it never is. It's almost the first step into adulthood, realising you've got to make your own way.
Saoirse Ronan -
My name means freedom in Irish.

-
I will always have a child in me. That is what Pete Jackson has got, what a lot of the directors I have worked with have. It is about knowing how to have fun and that is something I always want to hold on to.
Saoirse Ronan -
I really want to go to college.
Saoirse Ronan -
I certainly don't feel like I am desperate to run away from a film set. I love the hustle and bustle. Everything is sort of mad right before a take, and then it just settles, and you've got these two minutes of a bit of magic. I just love that in film.
Saoirse Ronan -
Lindsay Lohan was the 'It' girl from, like, 14. That's a lot of pressure.
