Ciaran Hinds

You try to work with the director and your fellow actors to get somewhere, but other people are the judge of whether you hit that note right.

I've never traveled to promote anything I've been in. I've only been to about two or three premieres. The way I work, I do bits, and then I'm off to something else, whether it's theater or another project.

When you find somebody who doesn't give and take, you go, 'Remind me never to work with you again.'

I've got a wonky nose. Is it classical, is it not? That's what's hard work, getting down into the nitty-gritty of who are the human beings behind the front of what they present?
