Quote

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.

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.

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
Most of the time I was in the background. I never played [the Virgin] Mary. I was always kind of the third angel.

Now we live in a time where the public and the private are completely fused and there isn't such a great distinction. We know our private lives are constantly made public. With Facebook and Twitter there isn't such a desire, it feels, to keep things private.

Those moments when you don't feel self-conscious, when you escape that, are when you produce something meaningful.

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.

We live in a time where it's more surprising if people are actually together than if they're having affairs.

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.

Image
I think, as an actor, you're always traveling. There's a sense of dislocation sometimes from home.
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.

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.

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 always hope for roles that have some depth and that I can get my teeth into and that will challenge me, in some way.

Image
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.

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.

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.

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.
