More quotes by Helen Mirren

Image
I was never that kind of star. I was never cast because I was gorgeous.
Helen Mirren
Image
I prefer the finesse of French humour. English humour is more scathing, more cruel, as illustrated by Monty Python and Little Britain.
Helen Mirren
Image
I have no maternal instinct whatsoever. Motherhood holds no interest for me.
Helen Mirren
Image
I resent having witnessed the survival of some very mediocre male actors and the professional demise of the very brilliant female ones.
Helen Mirren
Image
People often ask me whether I prefer theater or film, and the answer is that I prefer the one I'm not doing: The grass is always greener.
Helen Mirren
Image
My dad's Russian. My mother's English. I would say my bottom half is Russian.
Helen Mirren
Image
I don't think it's good to try and change anyone. The trick and the mystery - of relationships and life in general - is to learn to live with the bits you don't like.
Helen Mirren
Image
I think a lot of my work has been a weird attempt to liberate myself, but it's not altogether successful.
Helen Mirren
Image
I still have a Gypsy sense of adventure. I don't think I have slept in the same bed for more than three or four months my whole life. I am always planting vegetables that I never get to eat and flowers that I never see flower. I have always moved around the world.

I'm not an impersonator. I'm a lousy impersonator, actually.
Helen Mirren
Image
Humor in a relationship is so important. Many women will say that. Some say, 'If they can make you laugh, it's the sexiest thing on earth.'
Helen Mirren
Image
I don't mind being sexy, but on my terms. To this day, I love sexuality. I love the art of sexuality. I love Lady Gaga and the performance of sexuality. The mysterious, the artistic and the slightly perverse. I'm interested in all that.
Helen Mirren
Image
People with Parkinson's are not some weird people on the edge of human experience.
Helen Mirren
Image
Love thy neighbor is difficult. That's why everybody - wars, you know. It's the hardest. And it's the most important. And respect thy neighbor. Love and respect. It means respect, really. Respect thy neighbor. Respect the other, the different.
Helen Mirren
Image
The control and understanding of our personal fears is one of the most important undertakings of our lives.
Helen Mirren
Image
I knew I wanted to engage in the world of the imagination, but it was not economically feasible for me to study acting, so I went to a teachers' training college.
Helen Mirren
Image
It was never my intention to marry anybody. Economics are basically the only reason to get married, but I'm very glad I did it.

Image
Any role that's proactive is a great role, and action roles are by their very nature proactive. You get to do stuff. I hate sitting in a corner - I'd much prefer an action role in a popcorn movie rather than pining in a corner not doing anything.
Helen Mirren
Image
It's outrageous. It's ridiculous. And 'twas ever thus. We all watched James Bond as he got more and more geriatric, and his girlfriends got younger and younger. It's so annoying.

I don't throw a lot of parties. I find throwing parties a bit intimidating.
