I believe that if you want to go make your mark on the world you've got to go out and do it. Don't be shy, be adventurous.

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.

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 hate people eating on film. I hate it even worse on the radio, when people eat on the radio. I just can't stand it.

People become more interesting from about 25 - they develop character and their personalities come out.

It's so hard when you're young to look at older people and understand that they have been where you are. It's the weirdest thing. You just can't get your head around that, can you? You can't get your head around the fact that someone who is 60 was once 16, if you're 16. But the fact is they have been, and they remember it.

Sometimes nudity is sexy. Sometimes it's not. Sometimes being clothed is more sexy than being nude. I think people tend to get the two mixed up.

Patience can be a good thing - but not necessarily. Sometimes it's not so bad to be impatient. I'm a little bit too polite.

Image
I'm not a communist, of course. But I do think that everything is down to economics. Capitalism doesn't change.
Helen Mirren
Image
My parents believed in education and economic security, and I thank them for it. Because I think that's part of what's made my life stable. It was instilled in me. You have to be able to pay your bills. You do not get into debt. And I never have been.

When you're young and beautiful, you're paranoid and miserable.

Hollywood is a very small world the people who matter matter, and the people who don't matter are just like nothing.

You write your life story by the choices you make. You never know if they have been a mistake. Those moments of decision are so difficult.

Americans are very good at animating voices. I don't know why. They have a freedom with them that we British actors find more difficult to get to.

The trick in life is learning how to deal with it.

With that incredible voice that he [Alan Rickman] could play like a sort of wonderful instrument, like a cello or something. He played his voice, and he could be the most subtle of actors. And he could also be quite a big actor. He could do the grandiose performances as well.

You know, you have to allow life to play itself out, don't you? And one thing you learn is that it doesn't stop. It moves on.

I am not too keen on my nose, I don't like my knees, I hate my ankles, I am unsure about my behind, I don't like my legs at all. I am not too sure about my chin, my forehead is a bit dodgy. But, overall, I can live with it.
