I think people should feel less restricted by the perimeters of things like ‘menswear’ and ‘womenswear.’ It’s not something that I really give much credence to when I’m buying clothes. I buy mostly ladies clothes. I think to be yourself, first and foremost, that’s the easiest way to think about it. Robert Sheehan Read Quote
I did fine at school. Because of my acting work, I did miss all my mocks, which I was absolutely delighted about, and I spent about five months of my Leaving Cert year in Canada because I was doing ‘Young Blades’ there. Robert Sheehan Read Quote
As a kid, I didn’t drift into the comic world too much because I preferred to read fantasies novels and science fiction. Robert Sheehan Read Quote
There are actors who do various different shades of a similar character, which is fine. But I prefer the Cillian Murphy school of doing something that takes you so far outside yourself that it’s an incredible challenge and adventure. Robert Sheehan Read Quote
Who doesn’t change through their 20s? I changed probably more than the average person who lives in one place and has a job. But everybody changes significantly in maturity, we’d like to think, from 20 to 30. Robert Sheehan Read Quote
There are instances where, in my mid to late 20s, I very often found myself going for roles that they didn’t want to cast me in, because I’d done good work, but in a producer’s eyes, I wasn’t high enough status. So I lost out. Robert Sheehan Read Quote
I’ll always be somebody who spends a lot of time in a lot of places; that’s just always going to be the way. But I try to spend as much time in Ireland as I can, because it’s lovely, and it feels like a release. Robert Sheehan Read Quote
Part of progressing in acting is turning down work, and that’s hard; it’s very, very hard to do. And I think you have to do that so as not to undermine your own sense of value. Robert Sheehan Read Quote
You realise fame is something that if you court it too much or if you indulge in it too much, it will have a negative effect ultimately on your mental health and self esteem, because fame is ultimately about achieving positive self esteem through external factors, and that’s a losing game, I would say. Robert Sheehan Read Quote
What’s lovely about what I do for a living is the vast chasm of variety that constantly just comes at you from all angles. Robert Sheehan Read Quote
