A Quote by Cillian Murphy

You need to be as clean of a slate as you can be, as an actor. You have to try to be open to every experience. — © Cillian Murphy
You need to be as clean of a slate as you can be, as an actor. You have to try to be open to every experience.
We don't have to start all over again and try to keep the slate clean. There is no more slate.
I'm just kind of focused on playing the game and try to get better at certain things and wipe the slate clean every night.
Every child is simple, just a clean slate. Then the parents start writing on his slate - what he has to become. Then the teachers, the priests, the leaders - they all go on emphasizing that you have to become somebody; otherwise, you have wasted your life. Just the opposite is the case. You are a being. You need not become anybody else. That is the meaning of simplicity: remaining at ease with one's being, and not going on any track of becoming - which is unending.
I'm not going to be like, "I gotta get this idea out of my head." It's like, "OK, here's a clean slate, and I've got all these paints, and all these brushes, and this is what I'm going to do with it." It reveals itself, and you take a step back and say, "What's happening here? Where are we going? What does this mean? Do I need to break it open? Does it need to just be what it is? Should it end now?"
Whenever people tell you they are going to wipe the slate clean, it's your slate they mean to wipe.
With everything you do as an actor, you obviously know the full story. But the person watching it doesn't, necessarily. So, you just have to discipline yourself to wipe the slate clean as you go along.

Life is grace. Sleep is forgiveness. The night absolves. Darkness wipes the slate clean, not spotless to be sure, but clean enough for another day's chalking.
Every day when a man or woman gets dressed, they are in effect defining who they are. That daily clean slate is a time in our lives when we can determine who we want to be.
Every American wants a clean slate, but nobody wants to lose what they've got.
Sometimes I succeed, sometimes I fail, but every day is a clean slate and a fresh opportunity.
I am a clean slate and am willing to learn and explore every possible genre that comes my way.
Clean air, clean water, open spaces - these should once again be the birthright of every American.
There is one, and only one solution, and we have almost no time to try it. We must turn all our resources to repairing the natural world, and train all our young people to help. They want to; we need to give them this last chance to create forests, soils, clean waters, clean energies, secure communities, stable regions, and to know how to do it from hands-on experience.
You never know where your career will take you. A competitor in the market could suddenly become an unlikely partner. Be flexible, keep your slate clean, and stay open to unlikely collaborations.
