Cillian Murphy in Anthem
See scans or the transcript of this article.

Last week, we alerted you that Anthem Magazine was doing a story on Cillian. We've got it for you now! In this walk through his career, they mention what Cillian calls his "performance gene" that drew him to the stage and the work he puts into every role:

Murphy's dedicated to researching his roles in preproduction simply because he feels the characters he represents are owed that much. "It's the only way I know, because I'm so terrified when I take on a role. The only way I can counteract the terror is to just dive in, y'know?"

He also explains the single week he had between shooting The Wind That Shakes the Barley and Sunshine by pointing out that:

"In an ideal world, I wouldn't shoot movies back-to-back, but when you get a chance to work with Ken Loach and then recollaborate with Danny Boyle, you're not going to turn it down," he says.

Although Anthem gets a little confused when it comes to the chronology of Cillian's career (with 2005's Breakfast on Pluto somehow appearing before 2003's Cold Mountain, Girl With a Pearl Earring, and The Seagull), nonetheless it's an interesting article.
