More quotes by Carey Mulligan
My character in 'Shame' is an outrageous person. Loud and uncompromising and I begged Steve McQueen to give me the job.
Carey Mulligan
I didn't want to do a costume drama. It's a great thing to do, but I've done them, and I didn't want to do the same thing again. Of course, costume dramas can be from all different eras, but at the time, I just felt very sure that I didn't want to be boxed in as an English actress. I wanted to be an actress, rather than an English actress.
Carey Mulligan
When you idolise someone, or you hold someone in such high regard, you just want them to be everything that you think there are - and when they are it's just lovely.
Carey Mulligan
There was an article in the New York Times that said that young men can't maintain healthy relationships because they're so influenced by pornography and what they see on the screen. It's something to be talked about.
Carey Mulligan
I don't think you should ever damage other people for your art.
Carey Mulligan
I want to be in 'Glee,' but I'm told I'm not famous enough to be a cameo yet.
Carey Mulligan
I wanted to be in a Baz Luhrmann film. It's just extraordinary. He's so amazing at what he does. He makes the most incredible films.
Carey Mulligan
Remakes are a difficult thing 'cause some people feel very protective of the original.
Carey Mulligan
I never sit in a cinema and go, Ah! I want to be in that film!
Carey Mulligan
The toughest part of acting is never a single thing. It's more like a whole character. I find film really difficult - trying to make it feel like a consistent character when you're filming everything out of order.
Carey Mulligan
Sex addiction is a subject that should be discussed
Carey Mulligan
I did Wall Street, and then everything that happened with An Education took me up until March. I didn't want to work during that because there was just so much stuff. I didn't realize you had to go to so many parties. It was a nightmare! I had to go to all these parties! The glamour!
Carey Mulligan
I didn't work for a year after Wall Street. I finished that in November, and then it was the following October that I did Drive, so I took a year off. I didn't do anything at all, really. I just hung around.
Carey Mulligan
I've never done coke or anything, and I've never played a character who has, so I don't know whether I would actually try coke if I had to play a character who took coke.
Carey Mulligan
You can spend an entire day walking around in New York, whereas in L.A., it always ends at some point because you have to find a way to get home.
Carey Mulligan
In London, people can be so... well, it's not even a case of people being unkind or unfriendly. You just don't make any contact in London. You go from A to B with your eyes on the pavement.
Carey Mulligan
What doesn't draw you into a Coen Bros. movie. It's amazing. I can't believe it! They're the Coen Bros. It's ridiculous.
Carey Mulligan
I've always been quite careful about what I wanted to do. I've just never wanted to revisit old ground or do something that's easy. I want to do something that I would look at and go, I don't know what to do! The most exciting thing is when you're a bit scared, so I'm looking to find something that's really terrifying.
Carey Mulligan
It's funny that you can murder someone horribly and graphically and disturbingly in a horror film, and it's not an NC-17, but if you put a naked man on screen, everyone freaks out.
Carey Mulligan
With theatre especially, you don't want to do it unless you love it - there's no way you can pull it off, making people happy, making yourself happy for 12 weeks or whatever.
Carey Mulligan
