More quotes by Helena Bonham Carter
I had never had any experience of autism before and I would come home and look at my son, Billy, who is now two, and be absolutely paranoid, particularly because he loves Thomas the Tank Engine, and lots of autys love Thomas. But he is not very good at pointing, and autistic children absolutely love pointing.

I enjoy those small chats you have when people come up and talk to you about your work. It only involves a few seconds of effort to be nice to those people, and I am very grateful for the kind words that people have taken the trouble to express to me in person.

Helena Bonham Carter
Who wants to be normal when you can be unique?
Helena Bonham Carter
I'm not dead and I don't have blue hair but some people say there are similarities. It is usually intolerable to watch myself onscreen but this time it's fine. I think it's beautiful and a real work of art.
Helena Bonham Carter
It was weird because I was pregnant, throughout that so it was weird being a pregnant witch. I was in a really bad mood but luckily, because I sleep with the director, he just sort of scheduled me so I only had to do it two nights.
Helena Bonham Carter
I just do things because I fancy the parts and the directors.
Helena Bonham Carter
No matter how many modern parts I do, people still refer to me as Mrs. Costume Drama.
Helena Bonham Carter
Be yourself. No one else can.
Helena Bonham Carter
It took me ages to grow into being a woman, into being happy with it.
Helena Bonham Carter
When it comes to acting, people talk about the suspension of disbelief that you ask of the audience. Before that starts, you have to, as an actor, suspend your own disbelief.
Helena Bonham Carter
It was a challenge to be able to create a character without being able to use one's normal set of expressions. All the rubber and makeup attached to your face left you with only a modest range of facial movements.
Helena Bonham Carter
I'm the kind of actor who has ventured into escaping from me.
