More quotes by Helen Mirren
Acting is acting, but acting is different in almost always every project, and very, very different in this context.
Helen Mirren
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.
Helen Mirren
I don't know who I am. But I do know who I'm not. I have occasionally tried playing people I'm definitely not, and that wasn't a very pleasant experience.
Helen Mirren
I think it's always hard for people to get their head around the fact that populist, commercial films can also actually be great works of art.
Helen Mirren
As you get older naked stuff [on film] gets easier. It's more to do with the role than what men in the audience think. There's a liberation about it.
Helen Mirren
In Shakespeare's day it was women who were being burned at the stake as witches... not men. The men were thought of as alchemists. But women doing the same thing would be a witch and would be burned.
Helen Mirren
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
I'm not a communist, of course. But I do think that everything is down to economics. Capitalism doesn't change.
Helen Mirren
My dad's Russian. My mother's English. I would say my bottom half is Russian.
Helen Mirren
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.
Helen Mirren
I resent having witnessed the survival of some very mediocre male actors and the professional demise of the very brilliant female ones.
Helen Mirren
I'm not beautiful I clean up nice.
Helen Mirren
I think the war movie genre is a very important genre in film. Film gives you a visceral experience of something that you would never otherwise experience. To give the audience a real feeling of what maybe a certain kind of warfare would be like I thought was great.
Helen Mirren
When you're young, you wonder what all these old people are droning on about, trying to impart their wisdom. It's not relevant to you because being young is such a specific thing. Thank God for that. Thank God for the young people who go out and demonstrate against rampant capitalism or whatever.
Helen Mirren
Once a film gets into production, the actors sometimes begin to have more input than a writer does.
Helen Mirren
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.
Helen Mirren
I have no maternal instinct whatsoever. Motherhood holds no interest for me.
Helen Mirren
The great marriages are partnerships. It can't be a great marriage without being a partnership.
Helen Mirren
It seems to me that the years between eighteen and twenty-eight are the hardest, psychologically. It’s then you realize this is make or break, you no longer have the excuse of youth, and it is time to become an adult – but you are not ready.
Helen Mirren
I'm a naturist at heart. I love being on beaches where everyone is naked. Ugly young people, beautiful old people, whatever. It's so unsexual and so liberating.
