‘I felt confident enough in my ability, but also confident enough in who I was. I didn’t feel like I was being held back by the need to only play nice people.
“As I was able to shape it creatively, I cared less about whether things were appealing.”
Revealing how she was inspired by Lena Dunham’s characters in Girls, she continued: “We’ve gotten into the habit of filtering our personalities so much, boiling them down to a line on Instagram or Twitter.
“And to be able to have the opportunity to say, ‘Look, this person can be fully formed and have shitty qualities and also redeeming qualities, and let’s honor all of that.’ I’m at a point in my life where I’m like, ‘That’s what I want to see on the screen.”
The star also talked about being a private person and her choice to not have social media when she explained, “I like people not knowing my business.”
‘I just fundamentally believe it’s not necessary. I’m an actor, and the side of me that I want people to see is at work.’
‘I also think I was very lucky that when I started, it was right before social media really took off.
‘I can see, with the slightly younger generation, how they have felt the pressure of having that presence. And to be honest, that’s justified, because I’ve been in audition rooms where I didn’t get a role because I didn’t have enough followers on Twitter or something.

‘I was lucky to have gotten through that. It doesn’t make sense for me to share my personal life with people I don’t know.’
Last month, the actress set social media alight during her appearance on Graham Norton when she made a comment about gender-based violence while sitting down. alongside an otherwise all-male panel of PaulDenzel Washington and Eddie Redmayne.
As the men laughed about how they wouldn’t think of accessing her phone to retaliate in the event of an attack, Saoirse shushed the group and finally found a moment to speak amid the hilarity, declaring, “That’s what women do.” girls have to do.” Think about it all the time.
The brutally honest comment prompted a moment of silence from the panel before Saoirse asked the crowd: “Am I right, ladies?” prompting huge applause from the studio audience.
Breaking her silence on the viral moment, Saoirse spoke to Ryan Tubridy on Virgin Radio UK and admitted the reaction was “not something I expected”, before “urging more women to speak out”.
