More quotes by Carey Mulligan
If you're walking down the street in L.A., people do sort of look at you like you're a hooker because it's so rare to see someone just walking.
Carey Mulligan
I can change my appearance quite easily just by changing my hair. So I can adapt quite well.
Carey Mulligan
I was trying to find ways of not being pigeon-holed like that. I didn't want to be tied down by my accent. I wanted to play Americans. I don't want to ever be doing the same thing twice, and I just didn't want to repeat myself.
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
I am committed to helping Alzheimer's Society in any way I can. My family and I rely on the help of organisations like Alzheimer's Society to help us understand the disease and guide us in the care of my grandmother. It's been a privilege to meet so many people with dementia.
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!

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
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
It doesn't matter what you feel - ultimately, it's what the audience feels. You can finish a scene and think to yourself, 'Oh, God. I was so deep in that moment,' and find it just didn't play. I don't know if I have very good radar about that or not.
Carey Mulligan
I never sit in a cinema and go, Ah! I want to be in that film!
Carey Mulligan
I wanted to be a musical theatre actress - I wanted to play Sally Bowles, forever and ever always.
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
I grew up with an older brother, so I'm pretty good at being bashed around.
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
Remakes are a difficult thing 'cause some people feel very protective of the original.
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
I want to be in 'Glee,' but I'm told I'm not famous enough to be a cameo yet.
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
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
I kind of had an idea that New York would be like Fashion Week, where everyone always looks incredibly chic and cool, and I wouldn't fit in.
