At the time of the Silver Jubilee, I was a grumpy anti-monarchist. I didn't celebrate and was appalled by the celebrations. In my idiocy, I missed out! I feel completely differently now compared with that time.

More quotes by Helen Mirren
Ill-informed intuition is fantastic - it's what great art is. So really old painters or writers or actors are brilliant, because they've finally reached the point when they can let go of al technique.
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
I'm not strong-willed actually. I'm a complete pushover. I love to be told what to do.
Helen Mirren
It has nothing to do with clothing or makeup. Just put your shoulders back and chin up, and face the world with pride.
Helen Mirren
You write your life story by the choices you make.
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
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.
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
The control and understanding of our personal fears is one of the most important undertakings of our lives.
Helen Mirren
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.
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
Two phrases I hate in reference to female characters are 'strong' and 'feisty.' They really annoy me. It's the most condescending thing. You say that about a three-year-old. It infantilises women.
Helen Mirren
I was part of the first generation of girls and women to be educated and go to grammar school even if we didn't have much money. Then that generation went, 'OK, great', and went into medicine or the police, and hit this wall of discrimination from older men who hadn't caught up.
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
The trick in life is learning how to deal with it.
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
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
I think we all have a dream of what it would be like not to work and grow heirloom tomatoes, and I do have that dream, it would be lovely. I do love gardening and all of that, but I do love my work.
Helen Mirren
Hollywood is a very small world the people who matter matter, and the people who don't matter are just like nothing.
Helen Mirren
I'm not beautiful I clean up nice.
