The point being that she sort of really had to rely on other sources in order to live. But it was tough. You know, my dad started out in construction. He eventually became a bartender and was discovered by a bunch of actors from the Irish Rep In the pub that he worked in, he auditioned for a play. He got the part. He became an actor, a theatre actor.

Mam was a cleaner and then eventually nannied for different families and took me to work with her. And I think at a certain point... My mom in particular realized that this just wasn't the life that she wanted me to have. And, you know, if you're if you want to live comfortably in New York and I would say London as well, you need money. And they just didn't have that.

So they went home where they had, you know, a proper support system. And it was your dad's acting career that brought you back to Ireland. Is that right? Yeah. Yeah, it was. So it was a combination of them just needing more support, I suppose, from their family and them wanting me to, you know, have a garden and fresh air to grow up with and in. But also, yeah.

It was a time where the Irish film industry was sort of starting to boom a little bit because of filmmakers like Jim Sheridan and Neil Jordan and just a lot of American filmmakers who were becoming really fascinated with Ireland, either because of their heritage or Irish playwrights that they'd grown up reading. Yeah. And yeah, and so work took him home. So we went back.

Yes, I do. I remember, what was Dad doing? It was some film about the Troubles, of course. There was lots of explosions. We definitely went through a phase of that in Ireland. And so he was, I can't remember what the movie was, but I think that's where I got my sort of mild tinnitus from. I still have a ringing in my ears and I think it's from this film. There was an explosion that happened.

I was in a pram and there was an explosion that happened that they hadn't prepared anyone for. And dad ran for me and put his hands over my ears to protect them from this massive explosion that had gone off. And he always said, I just don't know if I got to you in time because I've got a ringing in my ears right now, even as I speak to you. And he's got really bad tinnitus because of it.

So that's my first memory of being on a film set. And I remember even like I was young, maybe I wasn't in a pram, but I was like, I don't know, I was like five or something. And even then I remember loving the atmosphere of a film set. I just loved, I loved how cool everyone was and how much fun everyone seemed to be having.
