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.

More quotes by Felicity Jones
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.
Felicity Jones
We live in a time where it's more surprising if people are actually together than if they're having affairs.
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'm a real geek. I love spending time researching a character and reading about them.
Felicity Jones
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
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
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
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.
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
It was lucky that Ralph [Fiennes] is someone who understands both film and theater and we were able to understand that scene so well before we took it to the set.
Felicity Jones
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
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.
Felicity Jones
I like to keep pushing myself and trying things out. I get easily bored, so I need a challenge.
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
Women want to be paid on parity with a man in a similar position.
Felicity Jones
It was amazing how much rehearsal helped with the performance - it was almost a theatrical approach to filmmaking.
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'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
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 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.
