Quotes About Colin
"I adored Colin [Farrell] from the moment I met him," McGregor says. "I'd read a lot about him over the years and, because I used to be a big drinker, I recognised some of the things he'd said in myself. Because we were both in LA, I got in touch and asked him to our house there one Sunday. We were having lunch with the kids when he arrived in this great big Bronco truck, but he got out in his pyjamas. He was so lovely with my girls, he's such a sweet soul. Colin is a very quiet character now. He focuses on the work and has incredible commitment. He'd never falter on his lines while I was fluffing away."
~10 Feb 2008 Sunday Herald , "Cassandra's Dream" costar Ewan MacGregor
"Directing Colin was a piece of cake, He's full of feeling. You just turn him loose and he does it. He does it better than how I could imagine it when I'm writing it."
~ December 2007, Woody Allen, director of "Cassandra's Dream".
"I've heard of Colin being this bad boy, but this guy is such an approachable guy. It was totally the opposite of what I had read in the media. He believes so much in the craft. It's like, 'Let's cut the bull and get to work'. We had such a great chemistry because of that."
~Manny Perez, who acted opposite Colin in the upcoming cop movie Pride and Glory.
"The best of the Irish! A Siwa of energy and love. Colin lived with Alexander day and night for months, trained on horseback, weaponry, and went to bootcamp as the leader of the men. He was always on time to work, knew his lines as well as the other actors' lines. He often hung around after his work was done to help others. I can tell you it's not easy to walk around half-naked in front of a cast of hundred of experienced combat vets, looking at him and wondering if he had the balls to play Alexander. He may have had concerns inside, but his everyday demeanor was impeccable - he looked and felt like a young conqueror, without any undo swagger. His strength was remarkable, and certainly his stamina, because I don't know what he was doing late at night -- sometimes i seemed he was functioning at the edge, but this is where he likes to play".
~March 2007, Oliver Stone responding to Nell's (a CFF member) question of "How was it like to work with Colin Farrell" posted on the 'My Space' website for the Alexander Revisited: The Final Cut DVD.
"He was a dream to work with."
~Woody Allen, discussing directing Colin in Cassandra's Dream; FoxNews, Feb '07
"He's so close to his mum, sisters, parents - he is like a little boy. I think that's what the girls like about him. How he treats his family."
~Jamie Foxx April '06
"I just did a movie called Ask the Dust, a love story set in the thirties. I got to work with Colin Farrell. For all of the crazy stories I'd heard about him, he was such a good person to work with because he is so committed to the work."
~ Salma Hayek Jan '06 Glamour
"God bless him. He's a real guy, a real man. There are not an awful lot of real men on the screen today. In leading parts, they're boys, not men. But not Colin. He's one of the men. He's got that wonderful Irish free-spirit thing. He reminds me of me when I was young, because I was just as much of a rebel."
~Christopher Plummer Entertainment Weekly Nov '05
"He worked with big actors, gave them their space and, at the same time, was himself. He was confident enough to be himself with Pacino. That gets a big vote in my book because most guys shrivel next to him."
~ Oliver Stone FemaleFirst November '04
"One thing about Colin, he's a friend. He's got a great heart. You can tell immediately that he's a good guy. And, as hard as he might party in some people's minds, I didn't see any of that. In the tabloids, your persona gets elevated or snowballs. But he elevated the movie for me and, I know for a lot of the cast because he raised the bar. He worked so f...ing hard. He just gives a thousand percent."
~Jared Leto 2004
"I wouldn't have thought this from the things I was reading about him before I met him. I knew more about his drinking and personal life than I knew about his talent and his acting. The level that he brought it to in this scene and the complexity that he was able to bring to such a dynamic character and make him so human. He was able to weep, and still be someone that you believed was Alexander. I was really glad to meet someone who is a phenomenal person beyond the rumors. It opened my eyes up to Hollywood and how everything can be diluted from someone into a pebble. And new I just refuse to let anyone make petty little comments about him."
~Rosario Dawson Dec '04
"He is a real guy. He’s a real man - and I think we don’t have a lot of ‘men’ today. (Laughing) But you know it’s true. He really does break a mold and I think that’s so important. He is his own man. He’s also really wild and uninhibited and free and bold - but he’s not out to get anybody. That’s why all the men were happy to follow him into battle and were rooting for him, because he is a good guy."
~Angelina Jolie Dec '04
"It was the most remarkable experience to see this figure from my imagination suddenly made flesh by Colin. Colin and I reinvented that character together, and what Colin did both matched what I had imagined and completely surprised me. He's a phenomenal actor."
~Micheal Cunningham Author of "Home at the End of the World" Jul '04
He's fantastic. He's just got this incredible energy that is so rare in people, in general, and it's infectious working with him."
~Bridget Moynahan Feb '03
"He just raised the bar so high. He made me come out of my shell. We were really going at it. It just made me feel good to see a guy with that much energy, crazy, over-the-top energy, to be able to hone it so well in this character. He is Bullseye. I can see nobody else playing that part, ever."
~Michael Clarke Duncan Feb '03
"Colin flew himself in to London from Ireland, and I didn't want him to. My film was about American GIs; I thought he would never get a role in the movie. But he came and he filled the room."
~Joel Schumacher
"I also have to be very honest with you, I’ve been around a long time and I have worked with a lot of new people on the way up. I’m not so sure becoming a huge movie star is the great prize. Colin will always be a fine young man with a heart and soul and he has a great family. He’s great looking and his talent I feel is limitless. No one can take that away from him. Whether he’s number one at the box office, I don’t know if that’s not the booby prize sometimes."
~Joel Schumacher StarChat (PhoneBooth)
"Colin's brilliant. I didn't know he was Irish. I had seen him in Tigerland and he did that with a New York accent. When I eventually talked to him on the phone and we started talking about the script, I said "Well, could you put Colin on, please?" And he goes, "This is Colin." He's got a really heavy Irish accent and you wouldn't know it. I think he had the hardest job in this film, because he's not like Hart. He's a sweet kid, but he's also a tough guy, too, and this role calls for a different set of muscles than just being a tough guy. There's a lot of restraint in his performance, and I think he did a great job with it, a really great job."
~Bruce Willis
"I took one look at Colin and knew he was just perfect. He just held the screen, he had a certain charisma and a certain intelligence, and I just knew he would be a perfect Tommy Hart. Most important, he's a really good actor. I knew he'd be able to do this role in a way that not too many other young actors could do."
~Gregory Hoblit : Hart's War Director
"Colin is a terrific guy. He had it tough at the start because he was thrown right into the deep end. It was hard for him to rebound. He definitely played up his Irishness by being the bad boy and maybe he fell into the act a little but he really is such a terrific great guy."
~ Neal McDonough speaking with The Irish Voice newspaper that it was a thrilled to be working alongside Colin in Minority Report.
"He's a good actor. He's unusual, he's not your everyday cover of Teen Beat. It is like overnight success, but I don't knock that stuff. I used like get pissed, 'Why don't I, why don't I' because when you get put into that position overnight, eventually if you screw up it's like the weight of the world on your shoulders. You know, Colin just got put into the leads of all these movies and he can handle it."
~Scott Caan Aug '01
