I had an existential crisis at the Oscars, sitting next to Sean Penn and Meryl Streep, and being like, 'What am I doing here? I don't belong here'. I felt like it could all be taken away.
I find that in life all you can do is try to be honest about who you are and how you're feeling, and trust that it will be received in the correct way.
Anyone who falls in love is a freak. Its like a socially acceptable form of insanity.
I probably never would have been hired on Broadway had I not moved out to L.A. and pursued acting and film, which is sad, really.
I have to say I've been lucky in that way in that I've been able to go from different films and different genres with different challenges.
I find that it's the simple things that remind you of family around the holidays.
I do love shoes that make my legs longer. I have the upper body of someone who's 5ft 8in, so high heels help me even out the discrepancy.
I'm just grateful I didn't have to spend my early 20s in front of paparazzi cameras.
I'm really good at gymnastics, and that's about it.
I've always been really comfortable around athletics, I've just never been comfortable playing anything.
It's just very homey in Ireland. It's very comforting and comfortable. There's lots of fireplaces with fires. It's just really cozy.
You're nothing to me until you're everything
Falling in love is a crazy thing to do. It's kind of like a form of socially acceptable insanity.
My natural response to a stressful situation is to shut down. I do weird things, like, I don't cry, I get really cold.
