Now, imagine youve just earned an Oscar nomination how freaked out would she be?

I was in bed asleep, and my mam ran into my room sobbing, says Ronan, laughing.
She told me the news, and I wouldnt have it any other way.
Sometimes I couldnt manage how I was feeling, says Ronan.
That had never really happened to me before.
Now it means so much more.
I can appreciate that now.
