I left the Gaiety School of Acting in Dublin in 2004, and I did five years of theater after that.

I didn't want to go to college or work in an office or have a nine-to-five job. I knew that quite clearly before I left school.

I was really into films when I was younger, but I feel like a bit of a phony sometimes - I started acting because I didn't know what else to do. I filled in all these university application forms and honestly didn't want to do any of the courses.

Through theater and acting school, I found a way to articulate myself.

I was an English major at Yale, but I did do undergraduate theater there. And I went to the graduate school for acting.

Every couple of years - no, that's every couple of weeks - I think I'm going to give up acting.
