There are lots of people I admire and respect, but I don't necessarily want to be like them. I'm too happy being myself.
From James D'arcy
The good guy only gets the girl in a soppy way.
I went further and further back through the centuries to get a sense of perspective but now at least I understand why Irish history evokes such strong passions and emotions.
I'm not really very ambitious.
Now here I am playing a passionate young Irishman who would die for what he believes in.
I find it incredibly romantic that people should fight for a cause they believe in and be prepared to die for it.
I talked to everyone about the project: actors and extras, members of the crew and passers by.
There is an odd sense of responsibility attached to appearing in a drama about a real piece of history. A work of fiction is fun.
Although this is a fictitious story the history is real. You don't want to re-write history but you certainly want to portray events and characters as realistically as you can.
When I left school I went to Australia for a year and worked in the drama department of a school in Perth.
