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.

More quotes by 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.

Going to auditions is always so nerve-wracking. I don't think they ever get any easier.
Felicity Jones
Image
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
Image
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.

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.

I've done quite a lot of improv work before, and I wanted to do this film [The Invisible Woman] because it felt like a different technique. We were very true to the lines, and there was something quite formal and almost theatrical about it.

I'm a real geek. I love spending time researching a character and reading about them.

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

Image
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.

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.

Sometimes there are changes that need to be made.

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

I'm more of a freestyle dancer. I like to do my own thing.
Felicity Jones
Image
I like to keep pushing myself and trying things out. I get easily bored, so I need a challenge.

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

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.

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.

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.

I want to be paid fairly for the work that I'm doing. That's what every single woman around the world wants.
