It took me so many years to move out. I'm definitely a bit of a Peter Pan, reluctant to grow up. It all seemed really nice at home-why change it? Part of me would prefer not to have any responsibility whatsoever.

More quotes by Helena Bonham Carter
It took me ages to grow into being a woman, into being happy with it.
Helena Bonham Carter
I love changing what I look like because I always feel super strange whenever I do watch something that I'm in.
Helena Bonham Carter
I just want to give you this one piece of advice: if you're standing and you could be sitting, sit. If you're sitting and you could be lying down, lie down.
Helena Bonham Carter
I should get a few ribs taken out, because I'll be in a corset for the rest of my life.
Helena Bonham Carter
I was like one of those nauseatingly nice children. I was very, very well behaved and boring.
Helena Bonham Carter
You can actually have a pitch button, you know, to get people on pitch.
Helena Bonham Carter
Maybe from now on puppets can do the parts
Helena Bonham Carter
But it's often been the case, I've done so many countless small, independent films that really 3.2 people have seen, so you never know. You do it for the joy of the part and not necessarily expect anyone to see the final product.
Helena Bonham Carter
And trust. It takes a long time to trust someone. You work with people, anybody you dont know, it takes about a films length to get to know each other. Then if you move on, you have to start right back at the beginning. But if you carry on together and try doing different things, you can all grow together.

Famous people come up to me, but I don't know who they are because my sight is so bad. It's always at the pool of the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills when I don't have my lenses in and my glasses are in my room.
Helena Bonham Carter
I just do things because I fancy the parts and the directors.
Helena Bonham Carter
Mothers are the heart of any household. I try to spend as much time with my children as I possibly can while also fulfilling my professional duties. It is tricky, but I think I manage it.
Helena Bonham Carter
With the number of people I ignore, I'm lucky I work at all in this town.
Helena Bonham Carter
Who wants to be normal when you can be unique?
Helena Bonham Carter
I'm drawn to emotionally damaged characters because there is more to unlock.
Helena Bonham Carter
It feels like a rash. It suddenly seems like I've got a contagion of diseases, I mean awards. But it's nice, it's a nice feeling. It's so weird, because I'm only 46. A lifetime Achievement award... it feels like 'I'm not over yet'. I hope they're not trying to say it's time to stop. I'm only just getting the gist of it.
Helena Bonham Carter
I loved doing all those costume dramas. I didn't think, 'Ooh I've got to avoid being typecast' - you can't ever be dictated to by what other people think. I just do things because I fancy the parts and the directors.
Helena Bonham Carter
I always feel better after a good scream.
Helena Bonham Carter
I was weird right from the start. It's just that you can't ever expect people to get you. And I do think that really did mess with my head, being well-known young, when you really don't know who you are.
Helena Bonham Carter
Why do you put your self esteem in the hands of complete strangers?
