A Quote by Cillian Murphy

I'm 24, and a lot of people my age grew up listening to bands that were big and making it from around here.

Signing to a major, there weren't many bands from our sphere that were doing it.

I feel like I've been doing performing my entire life. I started taking music lessons and singing when I was about ten. I didn't have one of those creepy stage moms that made me do stuff.

I never had, outside of music, any extracurricular activities that I took part in.
Then, at age 20, I discovered theater sort of by accident. Quite quickly, theater became more important to me than music.

There was a period of time between 2005 and 2008 that was pretty challenging. I had taken a leap of faith and moved to Los Angeles from New York, which had been incredible to me professionally. I couldn't get arrested in this town. There was a lot of doubt and fear that crept in, and boy, did insecurity stick her foot up in it. There were many obstacles that were overcome during that very dark period - creative, financial, emotional, and spiritual - and I'm here, standing, stronger than ever.
When I was a kid, a lot of my parents' friends were in the music business. In the late '60s and early '70s - all the way through the '70s, actually - a lot of the bands that were around had kids at a very young age. So they were all working on that concept way early on. And I figured if they can do it, I could do it, too.
