Colin Farrell ('Bobby') and Dallas Roberts ('Jonathan') star as childhood friends who are more than inseparable in "A Home at the End of the World." Their bond is stronger than that of most brothers, and their love for each other - though tested - knows no bounds.
Based on the Michael Cunningham novel (Cunningham also wrote the screenplay for this adaptation), "A Home at the End of the World" is touching look at families and relationships.

The film takes place over the course of two decades and follows Bobby and Jonathan as their relationship begins as just school friends, and eventually deepens into a lasting love.

Colin Farrell?s natural speech pattern is liberally sprinkled with obscenities. That?s just the way it is, and that?s reflected in this interview. So if you?re offended by bad language, skip this interview. If you realize it?s just Farrell?s way with words, then read on for Farrell's take on the cut nude scene, indie films, and sexuality.

COLIN FARRELL INTERVIEW:

Your character seems to go through so much without worrying. Why do you think that is?
Maybe because he's experienced so much loss and so much death in his life that any experience now is but a pitfall. I mean, he really just seems to think that there are no problems, that everything is beautiful, and there is a grand scheme of things. He's not even that aware that he thinks like that. He just really does. He's someone that very much lives in the moment.

Are you like him?
I'm a pretty open fella. Yeah, you might've guessed. I'm also not as gentle as him, and I'm fairly gentle. To be that gentle and that open, it's almost so damaging. He's so damaged that's he's been completely undamaged, do you know what I mean? It's [as if] he's completely reverted back to being the perfect form, which is what you were like when you were born, before you became so f***ing cynical.

Are you like that at all?
(Laughing) No. But we're born as children and we look at the world with open eyes... And we don't judge and we don't betray. We're not jealous. We're not envious. We're not even weary, which is a danger also as kids. They have to learn a certain amount of awareness. That's what happens to Bobby. He kind of reverts back to a state of open-eyed awe and shock at the world, which is a beautiful thing. I wouldn't like to be that to that extreme, but he is. For whatever reason, he is.

Do you think this basically is a story of three people who go back to nature, with less rules and less restrictions?
And yeah, once they go back to less rules and less restrictions, they stop breaking the rules. They don't go out and get pissed. They don't go out shopping. There's no joints being smoked. Music isn't played loud. So once they get outside where the rules are made to be broken, they find that they don?t even want to - Bobby anyway. Clare is still a bit there, but she's got a restless soul. I don't know if she'll ever find peace.

Did you spend time with the kids who played younger versions of your character?
Oh God, yeah, we spent some together. Yeah.

What do you make of the nude scene that was cut from the film and all the headlines that scene generated?
What do I make of it? It's boring. That it's gotten so much coverage? It's boring, man. There's got to be more happening. F***. We know there's more happening in the world, there's got to be more happening in cinema, internationally.

Was it cut because in America, it?s not commonplace in films?
I don't know if that's what it's all about. It's just about a couple of people who work in these particular magazines. The unfortunate thing would be that you let the people who run certain f***ing magazines and newspapers in this country speak for the public. The public has no problem in most countries, and I'm a member of the public, for speaking for themselves. So to have a bunch of bureaucratic editors at newspapers representing the people is even f***ing scarier because they paint them whatever way they want to paint them.

I don't think that it's a problem with censorship or being Puritanical. I know that it's not in this case. I think that the problem is that they're just going, ?Oh my God, Colin Farrell's c***. Sh**. Let?s write about that. Was it too big? Was it too small? Was it too wide? Was it too skinny? Was it an innie or an outtie?? Do you know what I mean? I know the reason that it was cut out was that it just wasn't right. It was nothing - but anything that it is [is] a beautiful, gentle moment and a f***ing large c*** with huge balls. It?s just f***ing jarring.

Was it your decision to take it out?
It was partly mine, yeah. Yeah. I mean, I wouldn't have shot it if I'd had a problem with it.

Didn?t you joke about it being too distracting?
No. Someone else did, those bastards (laughing). Someone else also said, ?He's no Ewan McGregor.? (Laughing)

And what did you take that to mean?
Hung like a Jedi (laughing).
