More quotes by 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.
Helen Mirren
Film is a visceral experience so I think a good war movie is a valuable tool for making us understand what our military goes through, what the issues are, the good and bad sides of war and what we're asking our military to do.
Helen Mirren
The control and understanding of our personal fears is one of the most important undertakings of our lives.
Helen Mirren
A woman with knowledge is something that frightens the status quo quite a lot.
Helen Mirren
There is that awful moment when you realize that you're falling in love. That should be the most joyful moment, and actually it's not. It's always a moment that's full of fear because you know, as night follows day, the joy is going to rapidly be followed by some pain or other. All the angst of a relationship.

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
Once a film gets into production, the actors sometimes begin to have more input than a writer does.
Helen Mirren
Acting is acting, but acting is different in almost always every project, and very, very different in this context.
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
When you're young and beautiful, you're paranoid and miserable.
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
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
It seems to me that the years between eighteen and twenty-eight are the hardest, psychologically .
Helen Mirren
I can't help being Christian because I was brought up in Britain, and the morality of Christianity is part of the fabric of this country.
Helen Mirren
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.
Helen Mirren
It's a mystery that thing about chemistry because often people who hate each other in real life and hate each other on the set have great chemistry on the screen. And people who love each other in real life and love each other on the set have absolutely no chemistry whatsoever.
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.
