If you do a fifteen hour day on a film, there's a lot of time standing around but at the end of that, you want to go home to your hotel room and have a bite to eat, watch a movie and go to bed.
Colin Farrell -
I love the grandiosity, how sweepingly entertaining films can be. And I think there's a place for films that pry more into the human condition.

Girl trouble, for me, is when you fall in love.
Colin Farrell -
I don't go to the gym or practice yoga. And the closest thing I have to a nutritionist is the Carlsberg Beer Company. I just have the appetite of a pigeon.
Colin Farrell -
I remember some of the sets on "Alexander" were extraordinary and it would just take your breath away.
Colin Farrell -
You're scrutinized all through your life - you're scrutinized by your family, by yourself, by society, and your friends in a certain way, shape, or form.
Colin Farrell -
I think I'm still trying to find my feet as an actor. And I know it ain't brain surgery, but it confuses me and it comes between me and my sleep a lot.
Colin Farrell -
I didn't work with any of the beasts [ "Fantastic Beasts"], I didn't have much green screen, but I loved working on it. I'm excited to see it myself.

-
The idea of implanting memories where by the implantee couldn't tell the difference between a real experience and a fantasy experience was really cool. And his ideas of technology - do we control technology or does technology begin to control us? His work hasn't aged a day it seems.
Colin Farrell -
It doesn't matter if it's a drama or a comedy, the need to get the emotion and the character arc across is way harder in something like this so was more of a preparation.
Colin Farrell -
Myself and Yorgos Lanthimos, we spoke a little bit and I was at a certain body weight that I was closer to making a statement or defining the character physically by losing weight. There was no justification for him to be emaciated, but I thought, say I was 165, I thought what if I went down to 155 and have him rail-thin? And Yorgos was like, "Well, if he's very thin I think maybe it will speak to some kind of psychological trouble that we want to stay away from," and I was like, "F - -, you're right."
Colin Farrell -
You consciously look after yourself, whatever that may be to you, whether it's going out for a few drinks and a bit of dinner, or just hitting the couch and watching TV, or going to the gym or yoga class. Just being aware that there's a potential for you to be in it and respecting wherever you find yourself is good enough.
Colin Farrell -
You dream to eat whatever you can and get away with it and then when you're told you have to eat, it loses its fun straight away.
Colin Farrell -
I am more comfortable doing a drama.
Colin Farrell
-
That's the process of making the film and it isn't until the world puts their eyes to it that you find out if it's creating any kind of connection at all. But every single film at some stage of the film I think, "I wonder what this is going to be?"
Colin Farrell -
I personally just want to do as many different things as I can do, whether it's comedy, drama, science fiction, horror, narrator... You've got a documentary, I've got a voice. Animated films. Big films, small films.
Colin Farrell -
I like to go for a little drive up the California coast.
Colin Farrell -
I do enjoy reading some science fiction.
Colin Farrell -
I've done far too many things that I felt were going to be genius that weren't and I've done some things that I didn't think were going to be much that really connected with people. So expectations are left at the door. But hope exists all the time.
Colin Farrell -
Seven years sober. I'm really grateful. It's really lovely to be present in my life.
Colin Farrell
-
Women tend to immediately take responsibility if somebody messes up with both of us saying it's our fault. Men are quite happy for it to be your fault it seems like.
Colin Farrell -
[Yorgos Lanthimos] is really a master I feel, I really do.
Colin Farrell -
I love working with horses. People say you shouldn't work with animals and children; that's wrong. You must only work with children, because you only work eight hours a day and I love working with animals. Animals have an honesty that human beings reach to find in their lives at the best of times.
Colin Farrell -
If you need to get in physical shape for a film and you have to maintain that for six months, at the start of the film, I was never able to do it.
