More quotes by Helen Mirren
I'm not beautiful I clean up nice.
Helen Mirren
I'd describe myself as a Christian who doesn't believe in God.
Helen Mirren
I think of myself as being a bit of a wimp deep down - a bourgeois wimp - and I'm fighting that. I think all Brits are, maybe.
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 met with Hitchcock when I was a very, very young actress just starting out and he was making 'Frenzy' in London and I was sent along to meet with him. He was very, very unimpressed with me and I have to say, I was rather unimpressed with him - but only because I was an arrogant, ignorant young actress.
Helen Mirren
You could build three hospitals with the cost of one film and I take that very seriously.
Helen Mirren
Actors are rogues and vagabonds. Or they ought to be.
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
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
I don't think it's good to try and change anyone. The trick and the mystery - of relationships and life in general - is to learn to live with the bits you don't like.
Helen Mirren
The trick in life is learning how to deal with it.
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
I'm not strong-willed actually. I'm a complete pushover. I love to be told what to do.
Helen Mirren
I'm not an impersonator. I'm a lousy impersonator, actually.
Helen Mirren
My dad's Russian. My mother's English. I would say my bottom half is Russian.
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
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
I knew I wanted to engage in the world of the imagination, but it was not economically feasible for me to study acting, so I went to a teachers' training college.
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
It seems to me that the years between eighteen and twenty-eight are the hardest, psychologically .
