"Well, a very long time ago I had the image of a very tall, thin man with a long penis standing on a roof. In that image there was mist around him, and I didn't know if he was good or bad or who he was. What was he an alien? Was he is a strange - you know, who was this? Who was he, I don't know, that's where I started. I'm like, who is a man standing on the roof with no clothes on? And you know, what's that about? Why is he naked? And, that's where I started. And this is what I came up with."

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Barry Keoghan, actor - on wanting to take the role of Bug:
(Reporter: "I imagine the last year the offers have come in like madness...")

6. Wide shot press conference
7. SOUNDBITE (English) Franz Rogowski, actor - on playing Bird:
"I think I rather decided for her world in terms of her language and her style, then for a character. Like, I didn't even know whether it would be, you know, a villain or like an angel. I mean, she gave me all kinds of inspiration. I remember an album of songs that I could listen to, and I'm still listening to that music, actually, almost on a daily basis when I do my yoga session and I had a lot of images of a floating man, naked in nature. And yeah, I found that pretty attractive. I mean, I felt like, okay, that sounds interesting."
8. SOUNDBITE (English) Barry Keoghan, actor - on playing Bug:
"Again, I wasn't given a script and I wasn't given anything like that, and it just shows the confidence I have in her and and the belief and, you know, the love that I'll do anything that she makes, you know, sign onto anything. Because I know that I'm going to be fully immersed, you know, and to be surrounded by non-actors I think gets a better performance from you. Like I'm being selfish there, but, you know, also kind of it brings me on a journey and it makes me kind of reach deeper. And as an artist, I want to go to places that I've not, you know, I don't have pre-empted or rehearsed or, so it's just a no brainer for me. But in terms of growing up in Summerhill? Yeah, there's a lot of similarities in the working class and, you know, I've seen a lot of, you know, a lot of traits in Bug that reminds me of lads I know at home and just kind of, you know, yeah, there's a lot of similarities that I could pull from. Just a pure chancer. Pure charmer."
