The Independent.ie has just published a great new interview with Saoirse entitled “Saoirse Ronan finds her freedom” and you can read it below:

Saoirse Ronan is something of an anomaly. Not only is it unusual to meet a young person who’s more into Chekhov than Snapchat, it’s also incredibly rare to meet someone so young and well-known who is completely down-to-earth. Despite massive success from the age of 13, she’s as ordinary as any other 21-year-old woman – although with arguably far more life experience, and far less dependence on her smartphone.

It’s not a big jump to draw parallels between her and another beautiful young actress who has grown up before us on screen, Emma Watson. The Harry Potter star is the face an international campaign for gender equality, called He for She. Her rousing speech to the UN on the issue last year reignited a global conversation about feminism. Does Saoirse – who last week spoke out in favour of wage equality – identify herself as a feminist?

“I guess I always have been, but never really realised,” she says. “For as long as I’ve been doing interviews, I’ve referred to myself as an actor and I never thought anything of it. But people would always correct me on it and say: ‘You’re an actress!’ When you understand what feminism is, it’s just the desire to be treated completely equally.

“I want us to get to the point where we don’t have to talk about this any more, where it’s just normal. Where you don’t have to point out a director is female, they’re just a director. That’s when things will have changed, and for the better.

“I love playing women – and what I mean by that is real characters, not just specified as ‘the girlfriend’ or ‘the sister’. And I think we’re getting there, with actors like Cate Blanchett and great female-centric films like Trainwreck and Bridesmaids.”
