Love is a command to rise to one's highest potential, the best and noblest vision of ourselves. Love is a reward, the greatest we can earn, granted to us for the moral qualities we have achieved in our lives.

More quotes by Helen Mirren
You know, some actors, all of their potential is in their youth, and when that passes, their qualities of as an actor pass. But he - Alan [Rickman] was the opposite, and their are other actors who are like that, who, really, their potential is in maturity.

I was never a left-winger, actually. I was a pretend left-winger because it was more interesting than being a right-winger.
Helen Mirren
I have no maternal instinct whatsoever. Motherhood holds no interest for me.
Helen Mirren
The whole 'R' rating depends on a strange sort of fantasy land where all adults are responsible people, and children only ever go to the cinema with their parents.
Helen Mirren
I have done film, television and theatre - all at a pretty substantial level - I don't think it's possible for American actors to do that.
Helen Mirren
The role of women has always been undervalued in the spy world, always undermined in terms of recognition. Unfairly so. It's a world that needs women.
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 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
When I'm choosing projects to be a part of it's always a combination of so many different things. The primary thing is the director. But a very important element is, is it different enough from anything else I've ever done, or what I've last done.
Helen Mirren
People become more interesting from about 25 - they develop character and their personalities come out.
Helen Mirren
[Washington is a] very gossipy little village of people all going to the same bars . . . all watching each other having affairs with each other
Helen Mirren
Once a film gets into production, the actors sometimes begin to have more input than a writer does.
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
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
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 think a lot of my work has been a weird attempt to liberate myself, but it's not altogether successful.
Helen Mirren
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
As an actor, those are the roles that you long for. You always want something that's going to kick your last role out of the water and put you off on a new path.
Helen Mirren
I'm not strong-willed actually. I'm a complete pushover. I love to be told what to do.
Helen Mirren
Like journalists. The police have an extremely sick sense of humor, very guarded, very private, very male, which they need to survive on an everyday level. I don't think anyone has ever managed to tap that on the screen - it would actually be too shocking.
