Quote

There's so much of a desire in the entertainment industry for newness, a desire to build somebody up and then treat them as old news within six months. I think you'd be naive if you didn't try to hold on to your own way of doing things.

More quotes by Felicity Jones

Image
I always hope for roles that have some depth and that I can get my teeth into and that will challenge me, in some way.
Felicity Jones
Image
We live in a time where it's more surprising if people are actually together than if they're having affairs.
Felicity Jones
Image
I always had a very strong sense of independence. I really liked being able to buy my Alanis Morissette Jagged Little Pill album. I wore that as a badge of honor. I love not having to rely on anyone.

Image
I like Nelly's [Ternan] quiet inner strength. I thought there was something about her predicament that I found interesting - that she didn't want to be a floozy mistress, a bit on the side, that she had more self-respect than that.
Felicity Jones
Image
I think Nelly [Ternan] actually has something very conservative about her, and she's very judgmental of (this other character's) situation, and can see that's about to happen to herself. So she judges it even more harshly [because] it's what she fears becoming.

The American vice would be sometimes speaking too loudly. You can always hear American people on the trains!
Felicity Jones
Image
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

I couldn't do what I do without my friends and family.
Felicity Jones
Image
I always wear the shoes of the character a week before going on set the idea of just putting on a new pair of shoes on the first day of filming is just horrific.
Felicity Jones
Image
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.
Felicity Jones
Image
Those moments when you don't feel self-conscious, when you escape that, are when you produce something meaningful.
Felicity Jones
Image
I was into Virginia Woolf and James Joyce [at university] and I think we all thought that [Charles] Dickens wasn't that cool.
Felicity Jones
Image
Now younger actresses will have a confidence in those discussions with their agents and be able to say, Can we make sure that I'm being paid the right amount for the work that I'm doing?
Felicity Jones
Image
It can be very intense being an actor it can be quite a small world. Then you speak to your friend who is a scientist and they have a completely different perspective.
Felicity Jones
Image
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
Image
I always had a very strong sense of independence.
Felicity Jones
Image
Most of the time I was in the background. I never played [the Virgin] Mary. I was always kind of the third angel.
Felicity Jones
Image
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
Image
I was a tomboy running around in the garden. I used to play on a local cricket team. I grew up with all boy cousins, for the most part, and my brother.
Felicity Jones
Image
I cry at the end of every episode of Girls. I'm just so overwhelmed by the truthfulness with which [Lena Dunham] conveys human nature.
