More quotes by Helen Mirren
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.
Helen Mirren
There isn't a King Lear for women, or a Henry V, or a Richard III. You reach a level where you can handle that stuff technically and mentally, and it's not there.
Helen Mirren
I'd like to see a much more open Monarchy, myself. I used to think they were completely useless and we should get rid of them. I don't necessarily feel that way anymore. I'm still ambivalent, I still loathe the British class system, and the Royal family are the apex of the British class system.
Helen Mirren
I'm not strong-willed actually. I'm a complete pushover. I love to be told what to do.
Helen Mirren
I'd describe myself as a Christian who doesn't believe in God.
Helen Mirren
I have no maternal instinct whatsoever. Motherhood holds no interest for me.
Helen Mirren
People become more interesting from about 25 - they develop character and their personalities come out.
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 have to say, without sounding like a total tosser, that everything I've learned in life, and that has taken me out of my natural interior life, has been with men. They exposed me to things that I wasn't aware of. I learned from all the guys.
Helen Mirren
When I was making films [early in my career] there were very, very few female directors, and there were certainly no women on set, which made taking one's clothes off all the more difficult.
Helen Mirren
It was not my destiny, I kept thinking it would be, waiting for it to happen, but it never did, and I didn't care what people thought ... It was only boring old men who would ask me. And whenever they went, 'What? No children? Well, you'd better get on with it, old girl,' I'd say 'No! F*** off!'
Helen Mirren
Once a film gets into production, the actors sometimes begin to have more input than a writer does.
Helen Mirren
It's very easy to just shout: 'Off with their heads!' Maybe in doing that you might lose something very valuable. I would like to see the monarchy continue, but in a more democratic fashion.
Helen Mirren
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.
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 not an impersonator. I'm a lousy impersonator, actually.
Helen Mirren
I've always been battling against my sense of dignity and refinement. I was embarrassed by any bodily functions when I was younger. I could never even blow my nose.
Helen Mirren
I am British. I love Britain for all its faults and all its virtues. My husband is American and I am largely based in Los Angeles, but whenever someone asks me where home is, I automatically say 'London.'
Helen Mirren
I think still it is very fine not to want children. There are far too many people in the world. It is my contribution to ecology.
Helen Mirren
I do think it's well over-time to have a female Doctor Who. I think a gay, black female Doctor Who would be the best of all.
