Cillian Murphy Explains His Character's Recorder Habit In Netflix's 'Steve'

The whole time I was trying to figure out, like, why he wanted to record himself. So I was wondering what you thought his reasoning behind recording himself was and what it meant to him to hear himself back. It's a sort of a, it's to soothe himself, really. You know, he just doesn't have enough time in the day to do these things. So it's like what we do nowadays, making notes on our phones or whatever. That's his version of doing it. But the results are practical. He's trying to bring Shola up to speed. He's one of these people that just never has time to do anything. he's always behind behind behind behind making this making this making this making notes making notes so it was a really good device for a character yeah and i wrote down the last thing he says on his recorder is like is it's enough isn't it that's like one of the last lines of i thought that was really beautiful so i was wondering what that meant to you when it came to what was going on with steve that's really interesting because a few people have asked me like what would you say to yourself in 1996 and because I was starting off as an actor in 96 and I think that thing of like just it's enough you know you're good enough don't don't beat yourself up yeah you know be kind to yourself I think that's that's what it feels like to me
