More quotes by Felicity Jones
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
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
[In The Invisible Woman] was a different type of performance which was less driven by improv. You always want moments of freshness and newness, but there was less so than I've done before.
Felicity Jones
Those moments when you don't feel self-conscious, when you escape that, are when you produce something meaningful.
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 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
The American vice would be sometimes speaking too loudly. You can always hear American people on the trains!
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.
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 want to be paid fairly for the work that I'm doing. That's what every single woman around the world wants.
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
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
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.
Felicity Jones
When you're believing in the person that you're playing, you feel protected. It's about being true to that person you're playing.
Felicity Jones
I always had a very strong sense of independence.
Felicity Jones
I think, as an actor, you're always traveling. There's a sense of dislocation sometimes from home.
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 like to keep pushing myself and trying things out. I get easily bored, so I need a challenge.
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
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!
