Quotes
I'm really excited about it and I'm really honoured that my first vote is going to be a 'Yes' vote for marriage equality. If it's a 'Yes' vote it means we're standing with the best of them. We're forward-thinking, we're fair, we're just and we're equal. If we don't, then we're none of those things and I would be extremely disappointed.

Saoirse Ronan: 'I could have ended up like Lindsay Lohan'
Clarke, Cath (29 May 2013). "Saoirse Ronan: 'I could have ended up like Lindsay Lohan'". Time Out.
I could have ended up like Lindsay Lohan. You're being offered all these different temptations. Everyone is either telling you how great you are or talking about you behind your back. If you don't have your mam telling you "Remember, you're still my daughter", you're going to go off the rails.

I put my leg on the ewe and make sure she's calm and stick my hand up her and pull her lamb out. I was totally up for doing it, but I was really scared. I grew up in the country, but not on a farm.
On delivering lambs while preparing for her role in The Outrun.
They've got a lot of goo in their airwaves when they come out. So, you have to get hay and stick it up their nose so they can sneeze it out. And you have to rub them really aggressively to get the air moving through them. If you don't do that, they'll die.
On keeping lambs alive after birth.
I was definitely going to be a Weird Barbie. I don't know how to take that. I would have been with Kate McKinnon, so that would have been nice. I had a scene but didn't ever get to do it, and it wasn't in the movie.
On a planned cameo in Barbie that never happened.
