Not as much as I'd like, to be honest. I think that kids need to be protected far more than they are. If a kid has a great chaperone, then that's amazing.

But I think that the relationship between director and young performer really needs to be given the time that it deserves. I think it's incredibly important that

that a director is a solid influence on their young performer, that they're not mercurial, that they're not unpredictable around them in the way that you wouldn't want a parent to be with a child. It's so important that they're someone that the kid can rely on, that they always bring an element of fun to the set for them. I always think about Spielberg.

I feel like it seems like Steven Spielberg was really, really incredible with kids, with like Drew when they were on E.T. and stuff. And I think that we cannot forget, no matter how impressive a child can be at acting for the first time. they're still a kid and their innocence has to be protected.

I think the real danger though comes, which has changed, it's gotten worse since I was a kid, with the promotion and the self-promotion that comes when a movie that a child is in comes out or a TV show. I think there's too much that's expected of kids now. I think social media hasn't helped that at all. But, you know, I've watched kids over the years since I started out who are like

It was a rite of passage, really. They left school when they were 15, 16. They needed to get to work. There was more work in the UK and America than there was at home.

And yeah, and they just they lived there. They experienced life outside of Ireland. And, you know, it was really hard. They didn't have anything. They didn't have money. They didn't.
