A lot of my time is spent watching films and reading scripts. And it can be all-consuming. And it's obviously something I'm fortunate that is both my work and my hobby. It's what I would naturally be doing anyway.

More quotes by Felicity Jones
I do sort of appreciate Nelly's [Ternan] view that it would be woman who would suffer mostly from that - who would be ostracized. The rigid societal conventions meant that it was difficult to live outside of them.
Felicity Jones
I think that when something happens when you're growing up, like a death or divorce, it does open the world slightly because things aren't as straightforward.
Felicity Jones
You have to be brave and not always play likeable people. It's difficult, because there's a demand for the hero or heroine to be very likeable.
Felicity Jones
Acting has always existed alongside my normal life. It's been a case of learning on the job. I've worked in so many styles, with so many people, so I've picked bits up from everyone and everything.
Felicity Jones
It was amazing how much rehearsal helped with the performance - it was almost a theatrical approach to filmmaking.
Felicity Jones
Fashion choices are never arbitrary. Even if you say you don't care, that's a decision. There's something you're trying to say.
Felicity Jones
Women want to be paid on parity with a man in a similar position.
Felicity Jones
I really enjoyed it - being involved in watching rushes and playback [in The Invisible Woman]. Ralph [Fiennes] was very open to my input, I think knowing that he couldn't always be there 100 percent, that he had dual aims with directing and acting.
Felicity Jones
My most treasured item is the brown leather bag that my mum bought me from a little Italian shop for my 21st. It's supposed to be a vanity bag, but I use it as a handbag.
Felicity Jones
I think in every character there are aspects of yourself that you bring to it. But then it would be really boring to just play yourself.
Felicity Jones
Always, my mother said, Be yourself. That is sometimes the hardest thing to do. I try to always remember that and come back to that and have strength in who you are. There is only one you.
Felicity Jones
The key is working with great directors. A film is so many different people and all their talents, but particularly the directors, because of the idiosyncrasies of that person.
Felicity Jones
I'm more of a freestyle dancer. I like to do my own thing.
Felicity Jones
What's amazing about the show [Girls] - the first (season) is about the girls and then the second (season) is about the boys as well. There's something so human about it.
Felicity Jones
Those moments when you don't feel self-conscious, when you escape that, are when you produce something meaningful.
Felicity Jones
I like to keep pushing myself and trying things out. I get easily bored, so I need a challenge.
Felicity Jones
But for everyone, I think, there is always a pressure to conform, and I guess as you get older you realize it's less interesting to do that. It starts with you, though, saying, 'I know what I like doing and that's what I'm going to do.
Felicity Jones
I'm keen to have balance, as much as possible. I put every ounce of myself into my work, but also it's important that I don't miss every single wedding of my best friends. I couldn't do what I do without my friends and family.
Felicity Jones
I guess I'm a bit of a romantic.
Felicity Jones
I'm small. I'm petite. But I'm a bit of a fighter inside. In my work I fight for, I hope, showing women in a true way. They've got brains.
