The actress, a four-time Oscar nominee, expressed her gratitude for the remarkable individuals who have influenced her career, including Sharon Horgan from “Catastrophe” and “Bad Sisters.” In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar UK, she referenced the fearlessness of icons like Sinead O’Connor and Sharon Horgan, who broke away from traditional norms in the 70s, 80s, and 90s.
She acknowledged the challenges faced by women and praised the bravery of Irish women in particular, who overcame societal constraints and limitations. She described it as “incredible stock” to come from a country where women were subjected to control in every aspect of their lives.
The Irish singer and activist, Sinead O’Connor, sadly passed away in July at the age of 56. The actress, Saoirse Ronan, who is known for her collaborations with director Greta Gerwig, emphasized the power of sisterhood and the unwavering support women provide for each other.
After portraying numerous dramatic roles in films like “Lady Bird,” “Little Women,” “Brooklyn,” “Ammonite,” “The Lovely Bones,” and “Atonement,” Ronan expressed her desire to explore comedic roles. She acknowledged the skill and musicality required for comedic acting but believes that as she grows older, she becomes more confident to take on such roles.
Reflecting on her career, Ronan emphasized the importance of humility, having experienced both favorable and unfavorable treatment in the industry. She believes that a well-rounded journey as an actor involves playing minor roles and leads, being treated well and poorly, and facing both exploitation and care.
Looking ahead, Ronan expressed an interest in directing herself in the future. She believes that directors should adapt to their actors rather than expecting a one-size-fits-all approach. She values the ability to make actors feel empowered and capable of anything.
The October issue of Harper’s Bazaar UK featuring Saoirse Ronan will be available for purchase from September 7.
