Armani makes a fantastic lip gloss called 'Beige 100.'
I'm not interested in using my father's death as some touch point for why I've become an actor - it's grossly opportunistic.
I remember the first film I did, the lead actor would, in between scenes, be reading a newspaper or sleeping and I'd think, 'How can you do that?' But it's so exhausting, you can't be 'on' 12-14 hours a day.
Being in Australia, I was really sun conscious. For a couple of summers there, I did the baby oil thing, and my my mom said, 'Just don't. You'll regret it.'
Before having children, I think I probably approached work very differently, and you become much more economical and pragmatic about your relationship to it.
Because the picture is called 'Veronica Guerin,' you expect a biopic. But it's really about the last two years of her life.
I never want to work. Even when you're presented with these great opportunities, I think, 'I really love being in my pajamas with the kids.'
I tend to have this perverse reaction to authority and stress: I become more confident and clear when a challenge is enormous.
I think my understanding of different types of love has certainly deepened.
Conservatism is affecting the way women perceive who they are in the world.
I want to be able to follow the example of those extraordinary British actresses who move effortlessly from film to TV to theatre roles.
It took me a long time to get comfortable with the idea of being photographed by a moving or still camera.
I've been pretty lucky in the leading men department.
I've been mostly influenced by experiences in the theater growing up.
