Domhnall Gleeson Quotes

• No one can give me advice on ‘Star Wars’ because nobody knows what I’m doing in ‘Star Wars.’

• The idea of having dreams that don’t come true is really terrifying.
• I did Never Let Me Go (2010) and there were amazing people on that. Brilliant writer, director, cast. That was quite special.

• The Coen brothers are amazing; they’re special.

• The Olympia was a really special place for me as a kid. I saw Dad perform there so many times, so it means a lot.
• The whole idea with acting is that you take some risks. And if you take some risks, you’re really going to mess up sometimes. But it’s not OK to mess up a movie; it’s not OK to do that just so you can improve as an actor. But film-making takes a little bit of risk in every department.
• There’s so many good comic actors that you just take the best of and try and run with it yourself. Try and bring a little bit of yourself to it, too.
• I’m certainly a young actor. I’m certainly those two things. Actually, I’m not even young anymore; I’m 29. So, I’m an actor.
• Life is difficult for everyone; everyone has bad days. Everyone has trouble in their life, because it doesn’t matter how rich you are: Sickness and trouble and worry and love, these things will mess with you at every level of life.
• ‘Black Mirror,’ I read that, and I had another offer for a movie at the same time that was a bigger movie, an actual film as opposed to TV, but I said, ‘No, it has to be Black Mirror.’ And it hadn’t been sold to Netflix, hadn’t gone abroad at that point – but it’s just good work – that’s all there is to it.
• I’ve been interested in the writing/directing thing and really fell into acting by complete accident.

• I don’t go to premieres I’m not involved in.
• Yeah, yeah, yeah, time travel’s a nightmare. Don’t go down that path.
• Really, all I worry about is the work in hand.
• I was in ‘Harry Potter,’ and nobody on the street recognizes me from that. Nobody on the street has ever stopped me from ‘Harry Potter!’
• I find looking forward scary because you might die.
• Punch-Drunk Love (2002) is my favorite movie.
• I got very lucky with ‘Harry Potter.’ I got that role because I’m a ginger! Red hair was my only qualification!

• My father is just getting better and better, and that speaks so well of the way he approaches the work.

• ‘Pale Fire’ by Vladimir Nabokov was bloody hard work but really thrilling.
• Normally, in a film with lots of twists and turns, half of them don’t make sense; they’re just there for their own sakes.
• It’s nice to sit down when you’re not working. I try to do it as often as possible.
• ‘Star Wars’ is different to anything I’ve done before.
• Just because I’m doing ‘Star Wars’ doesn’t mean that’ll be the thing that makes people stop me in the street.
• I’m a pessimist by nature, so it’s always the worst things that come to mind first whenever you make a decision or have a decision to make.
• Fail again, fail better.
• I tend to play ‘tortured’ a lot, whether it’s physically or emotionally.
• I got to work with Cillian Murphy and my dad, Jim Broadbent and Jodie Whittaker on Perrier’s Bounty (2009) It was a small part, but it was really special.
• I think the whole thing is: If it makes sense in your head, the audience will go along with it.
• It’s hard to get people up and out to shows, but ‘The Walworth Farce’ has masses of energy and will attract a crowd who don’t always come to the theatre, which is great.
• Portraying as human the people you hear about on the news doing bad things is dangerous. But it’s also necessary and important.
• The rom-com genre is not something that necessarily lights my jets.
• I’d seen my dad on stage, and that was fine, but the real excitement was – that was my dad. Even now, when I see his films, he’s always my favorite person in the movie.
• Going home, spending time with the family, I feel they’re my friends as well, all of them. I look forward to meeting any one of them for a coffee, and when we all get together, I just love it.
• I’d rather do one day on a really cool movie than six months on something crap.

• Two things are always happening in acting. On the one hand, it’s a team sport. We’re all pulling together. But on the other, you have to look after your own character. Guard their interests.
• Everyone talks about how we’re on our phones all the time, but the fact remains that when I’m away on a film set for two months, I can Skype my family. I remember the phone calls my parents had to make when my dad was away for a while when I was younger – that once-a-week expensive phone call! The time pressure on talking to your father!
• I like films that are gritty and hard-hitting and suspenseful. Thrillers, too.
• I think everybody’s got their insecurities and hang-ups. Everybody! Unless you’re an idiot.
• When you work with actors, what you’re hoping to absorb is good ways to be an actor as opposed to how to handle being famous.
• As an actor, there’s very little you can do if people don’t want to see you. Just getting yourself into the room to audition is tough.
• The worst thing as an actor is when you’re not getting opportunities to try and show what you can do; the best thing is when you get material that really lets you express something and that you’re excited about.
• I’m not going to get better as an actor working on bad stuff.

• I’ve gotten work based on how I look, and I’ve not gotten work based on how I look. It’s all good.
• Most of the time, I do what I’m offered, but after I worked for it. I think I try much harder for the things that scare me and inspire me. The things that scare and inspire you are things that are different from what you did before.
• Often times, I just do a job and tell my agents, ‘I’m in lockdown now.’ I won’t talk to anybody about anything else in the meantime, and I think that’s generally the way to go because I also like to have a gap in between jobs.
• Has anybody seen The Notebook (2004) and not cried? I don’t know, I don’t know if that’s the case. It sort of hangs around for a while.
• Though rom-coms aren’t necessarily my cup of tea, I was a huge fan of Notting Hill (1999). I laughed a lot, and the romance got to me.
• I’m pretty lowbrow. It’s a failing.
• Look at Cillian Murphy: ‘Batman,’ ‘Tron’… those are some heavy-hitting franchises. But he works his way around it. He manages to have a great career and a great life.
• It was when I was on stage that I realized that acting could be such a brilliant job.
• I’d been very certain about not wanting to do the acting thing because of my father. I thought I’d always have the father-son thing of ‘He got you the part.’
• [on being cast in Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens (2015) I’m incredibly excited, but the only way I can be of value is by ignoring fandom, ignoring the other movies to a certain extent, and just trying to do the best job possible. And I think it will be the same for everyone else.
