Quotes

“I don’t enjoy the personality side of being an actor. I don’t understand why it’s expected I’ll be scintillating on a talkshow.”

— "Cillian Murphy on Oppenheimer, sex scenes and self-doubt: ‘I’m stubborn and lacking in confidence – a terrible combination’" in The Guardian (8 July 2023)

“I’m stubborn and lacking in confidence, which is a terrible combination. I don’t want to put anything out that I don’t think is excellent.”

— "Cillian Murphy on Oppenheimer, sex scenes and self-doubt: ‘I’m stubborn and lacking in confidence – a terrible combination’" in The Guardian (8 July 2023)

“I’m always trying to cut lines in scenes. I like films that pose the big questions, then leave it to the audience”
