Am I the only one who had trouble hearing some of the questions? I turned my volume up all the way and I still couldn't really hear anything until "I have to go to the bathroom."
I think this is the same interview - the woman who posted it posted a transcript also:
Breakfast on Pluto - Question & Answer Session - Cillian Murphy and Neil Jordan -
September 10 2005 - Toronto International Film Festival - Ryerson Theatre
Before the movie:
{{ Liam Neeson takes the stage - }}
Neil Jordan: This extraordinary actor who is taking the world by storm, including the
airlines of the world - Cillian Murphy
{{ Cillian - stage - he is greeted by Liam }}
Neil: Thank You, enjoy the show.
{{ Neil, Cillian and Liam descend and the movie begins}}
After the movie - Q&A Session
Neil: Cillian is in the bathroom right now.
Audience: Which one?
Neil: Erm...the ladies. He always gets confused!
{{ Cillian enters from side doors and steps unto the stage }}
Cillian: I had to go to the bathroom.
Interviewer: Anyone with questions?
Audience Member #1: What type of preparations did you make to get ready for the
role?
Cillian: I, uh, I, um - uh. I read a lot. The book obviously is the source material. I was a
big fan of the book originally. And then I went and I spent some time with transvestites
in London. I did significant grooming. And spoke with Neil about how to approach the
character and that was pretty much it really.
Interviewer: Anyone in the balcony?
Audience Member #2: In the last scene of the film what did you say to the kid?
Neil: What does he say?
AM2: Yes.
Neil: You didn't understand what he said, no? The very last line. Oh he says that if she
has a daughter - when she has her child - he hopes it'll be a girl. That's the last thing
he says {{ taps Cillian on the shoulder }}
Audience Member #3: Did you get to keep the wardrobe?
Cillian: Uh, no. But I enjoyed wearing it - trying.
Audience Member #3: How long did it take - the film?
Neil: I bought the rights five years ago. I wrote a script with Pat McCabe. I did a test
with Cillian four years ago and I was a bit nervous of the movie because it dealt with
issues I've dealt with before and I was kind of nervous about dealing with the issue
of terrorism during the current climate. And then I thought actually its the attitude of the
central character to that all those disturbing things were beautifully simple and clear I
just thought I had to make the film. It was mainly when I did a test with CIllian and I saw
someone that could play the role, because its the kind of film if you can't deliver the
central performance - the film is not there. Once I saw that Cillian could raise the bar of
the story and lighten the story.
Me: What was your reaction when you first saw the final movie?
Neil: His or mines?
Me: His - both of yours actually.
Cillian: Um, tonight was my first time seeing the film. It was - I'm still processing it; had
to go to the bathroom to spend some private time. I'm very proud of the film and for me
it was an honor to work with this calibre of people. Neil, obviously. Liam, Brendan
Gleeson all those people you know, had a big influence on me growing up. As a kid, I
watched their films and their performances so yeah it feels very strange, very
humbling, very pleasant. I believe in this as much as you see.
Audience Member: Bravo
Audience Member #4: This is for the both of you; are you working on anything right
now?
Neil: It's very - you know I'm working on a few things, written a few scripts. It's
always terrible when you say that 'I'm about to do this movie' cause it happens, you
know, it ends up on the internet and then you end up not doing it and its really
embarrasing. So I'm not gonna say anything but theres a few interesting things.
Interviewer: I think we have maybe one or two more questions. Uh, middle left.
Audience Member #5: I was just wondering ({ not discernable, person was very quiet
and rambled a bit with her question. }}
Cillian: Is that for me? Are you talking about other scenes with other male actors? Was
that the question? No, no. It was never an issue because if you're really commited to
the character to what the character believes and you know. It's a certain arch of the
story and there was absolutely no problem at all. Every actor was prepared to build a
story and tell the story. I don't really want to judge the decisions. {{ not discernable,
Cillian was very quiet}}
Audience Member #6: Okay that was absolutely fantastic and I was wondering, did
you have a favorite scene? Like was there was scene that you enjoyed shooting or a
scene that you were happiest with?
Neil: Whose that to?
AM6: Both of you.
Neil: ((SPOILER ALERT)) Haha - okay. I never thought I'd be shooting a scene in
chrome in a jail with a load of IRA guys you know being demolished by a perfume
spray. I never thought I'd be shooting that scene - I really enjoyed that.
Cillian: I second that!
Interviewer: So I guess we're out of time - but perhaps one more at the back with the
double wave technique.
Audience Member #7: (( undescernible. SPOILER. Something about why Patrick
{Kitten} chose to handle the situation when the police blamed him for the bombing and
why he chose to lie and make up the story of beating the IRA with a perfume spray))
Neil: Ah well why? Well the novel dealt with that - exactly that, you know. He grew up
in a small town in the border, you know, between the north and south in the 70's. So it
would have been absolutely inevitable that he would have made those connections
and would have to confront those issues in some way.
Interviwer: I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen but I guess we are out of time. But please
join me of thanking once again, Neil Jordan and Cillian Murphy.
{{ They walk off stage - end of interview }}
