Profile Image for Zoe Butterworth

Cillian Murphy was the reason I listened

I absolutely loved this I heard it but I also felt it almost like I was there listening in on the interviews . I loved the way it felt like I was there listening to a normal everyday conversation and felt that . I to lack in confidence and will go over and over everything I said in a conversation.
