More quotes by Helen Mirren
I'm not beautiful I clean up nice.
Helen Mirren
My grandfather had come over as a member of the czarist army, to make an arms deal with the British government. Being a blinkered military man, he was unaware that the Russian Revolution was about to take place.
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 always tell my husband, 'That's it, I quit, I've done all I wanted,' and he's just like, 'Yeah, yeah. Sure.'
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
I love that country [Israel].
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
With that incredible voice that he [Alan Rickman] could play like a sort of wonderful instrument, like a cello or something. He played his voice, and he could be the most subtle of actors. And he could also be quite a big actor. He could do the grandiose performances as well.
Helen Mirren
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 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
The control and understanding of our personal fears is one of the most important undertakings of our lives.
Helen Mirren
My dad's Russian. My mother's English. I would say my bottom half is Russian.
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
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.
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
It was never my intention to marry anybody. Economics are basically the only reason to get married, but I'm very glad I did it.
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'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
Once a film gets into production, the actors sometimes begin to have more input than a writer does.
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
