If you don't have eyebrows, you don't really have a face.
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.
I don't know what kind of swag I'd get if I were extra Irish. It would just be, like, extra potatoes. Or like a free pint of Guinness.
I like to get far away from myself when I'm acting.
The majority of teenagers don't even make eye contact with people, even people of the same age.
It's too distracting to read about yourself. You want to be perfect and you want everyone to love you, and that's never going to happen.
That's what acting is. You're pretending to be someone else.
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.
I'm all right, not as good as my mom is. Maybe because I don't have kids.
When I was younger, I was very athletic and I always loved sports and physical things.
Lindsay Lohan was the 'It' girl from, like, 14. That's a lot of pressure.
My whole life I try to make into a comedy, so it would be nice to see that onscreen.
When I was younger, I would mess about and have a laugh with everyone. I was doing Atonement when I was about 12, and as we went to do this very serious scene, the director Joe [Wright] came up to me ... I'd been giggling right up to the beginning of the take. And he came up to me and said, "Okay, you need to be serious now." I completely idolized him.
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.
