  • - We'll remember this, as the last day of the republic.

  • - I always try to help out the law.

  • - We don't really know anything of the rest of the world.

  • - It was my fault, I take full responsibility.

  • - So, let's have a conversation.

  • -What would you like to know?

  • - Bill Weasley.

  • If it's the right filmmaker, I'm willing to do anything.

  • I'll do two lines or I'll do the lead or I'll do something

  • which isn't flattering.

  • Good filmmakers are the reason that I'm an actor at all.

  • It's because I love good films.

  • So I think I'm also just willing to throw myself

  • into whatever they need me to be for their movie.

  • - Caroline, you mustn't let this business get inside you.

  • The film is a kind of a gothic ghost story.

  • My character grew up very poor.

  • Always looked up to the upper classes,

  • wanted to be from the upper classes.

  • There must be some alternative.

  • It was a very long process actually getting the accent.

  • I worked with a great dialect coach,

  • we kind of invented a new accent for him

  • because he was from the working class

  • and yet he aspires to be from a higher class,

  • and yet he can't lose the accent completely.

  • - I'm concerned about his state of mind.

  • So we kind of invented that.

  • We also listened to Philip Larkin reading his own poems.

  • I work all day and get half drunk at night. ("Aubade")

  • He grew up not wealthy and yet when he read his poems,

  • the accent he had was very posh and then something weird

  • happens when you realize that somebody has changed

  • themselves in some way through their accent.

  • Who do you think you're talking to?

  • All remaining systems will bow to the First Order!

  • Hux is full on fascist, English upper class,

  • rolls his R's sometime and it's very

  • aspirational and strong.

  • Hello Harry, Bill Weasley.

  • I thought I had done a really good job at my accent

  • on "Harry Potter," until I turned up on set and went Australian.

  • True enough, owe it all to a werewolf, name of Greyback.

  • And I couldn't stop being Australian for a whole day,

  • my first day in front of everybody.

  • So that was the worst thing in the world.

  • What you wanna do is forget about it when you're doing it

  • and just be able to be the character.

  • It's not my fault, it's not my fault.

  • They never really loved me.

  • They always loved him more.

  • They were leaving me behind.

  • - I don't know those boys.

  • I always try to help out the law.

  • It's funny, southern American is definitely easier

  • than a more general American or something from either coast.

  • The southern thing, I don't know I think

  • because of the way that the sentences work

  • and the up and down of the tonality of it,

  • you can hear it and you can grab on to it.

  • It's an accent you can grab onto.

  • South African or Welsh, like they're the nightmare ones,

  • they're the ones that you just like wake up sweating

  • about having to do someday.

  • We always win.

  • I mean, I didn't go to drama school or anything like that

  • so it's my own little system which has developed,

  • but yeah, a lot of exercises in the mornings

  • then I tend to keep the accent up during the day,

  • just so it settles into my mouth

  • and I'm not doing an accent when we start doing a scene.

  • It's nothing like that, war shock.

  • Oftentimes I'll find a poem that I think suits the character

  • and that will be my mantra that I go to

  • because it puts you in a good state of mind

  • and it gets your mouth in shape for what you're about to do.

  • So my only function was to be someone

  • she could use to escape.

  • I'll keep it up on set,

  • but then when they say, "cut" on the last take of the day,

  • I go back to Irish and then I can go home

  • and talk to my friends and not have them hate me. You know?

  • So I can try and be myself again.

- We'll remember this, as the last day of the republic.
