More quotes by 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
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.
Felicity Jones
Those moments when you don't feel self-conscious, when you escape that, are when you produce something meaningful.
Felicity Jones
I've done a lot of very low-budget indie films, so it was just really exciting and fun to be doing a film where there's a lot more time and these huge, vast sets. I was like a kid in a playground. It was amazing!
Felicity Jones
I guess I'm a bit of a romantic.
Felicity Jones
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.
Felicity Jones
I don't have much time for shopping so I pick things up when I can. My favorite labels are APC, Isabel Marant and Agnes B because the clothes are cut small and have a simplicity to them.
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
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
I think, as an actor, you're always traveling. There's a sense of dislocation sometimes from home.
Felicity Jones
I like to keep pushing myself and trying things out. I get easily bored, so I need a challenge.
Felicity Jones
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
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
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 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
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.
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
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
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
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.
