When I saw the film, it was just an amazing opportunity to see myself on camera.
And it was amazing.
But you've been an actor for a long time now, haven't you?
Yes, I've been an actor since I was very young.
And I was very proud.
I was very proud doing Mary is Missing.
When I stand on stage, when you go on film and when you go on T-shirt,
I go very subtle and that brings a lot of my acting into it.
So when I'm going on stage, I feel I'm proud and I feel I do lots of different things.
I was in real life.
I was the main character in real life.
And I was so happy to be there.
And then when you go on theatre and film, you go very subtle.
So you make it small.
When I went to Cork, I went to the panel talking about Mary Smithson and that was a big deal for me.
I wish we could have a five-day week in Maynooth University and it would be a great opportunity to get more funding for money.
With my life now, it's just to come out as an actor.
I always work in a hairdresser's.
