More quotes by Helena Bonham Carter
I think Woody Allen is pretty much of a genius. I'm thinking of filmmakers every century or two, but I've never had the luck to meet them. People who create their absolutely own world and are totally inimitable.
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
Sometimes I get it right and I sometimes I get it wrong. But fashion is all about having fun. I think fashion has been hijacked by the fashion industry creating rules on what one should wear and I feel like breaking the mold and seeing that the world won’t crumble.
Helena Bonham Carter
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
Because I sleep with him he asked me to audition, you know?
Helena Bonham Carter
I drink booze, I smoke, and I'm hooked on caffeine. I actually have been known to swear at times and belch and even raise my voice when provoked. And I'm not physically repressed!
Helena Bonham Carter
I'm the kind of actor who has ventured into escaping from me.
Helena Bonham Carter
The thing about the Oscars is real life doesn't stop. You have to get back to planet Earth the following morning. The rubbish needs taking out. The kids will be crying. They'll need feeding. Kids do not care whether you've been to the Oscars!

Maybe from now on puppets can do the parts
Helena Bonham Carter
Usually I'm frustrated when I look at my films and I don't believe that I've made a real transformation beyond my usual sets of gestures and expressions. I still have this nagging feeling that it's me, that I didn't create a unique character.
Helena Bonham Carter
I'm suffering from stage fright. I don't like making speeches. [...] I'm the kind of introvert actor who likes putting on other people's clothes and pretending to be somebody else, which is completely crazy choice of profession. So, I don't enjoy public speaking and I have every sympathy for anyone who has to do it and doesn't enjoy it.
Helena Bonham Carter
His mouth is a no-go area. It's like kissing the Berlin Wall.
Helena Bonham Carter
No matter how many modern parts I do, people still refer to me as Mrs. Costume Drama.
Helena Bonham Carter
I just do things because I fancy the parts and the directors.
Helena Bonham Carter
You can actually have a pitch button, you know, to get people on pitch.
Helena Bonham Carter
I'm always attracted to lower budget, not because it's lower budget, but because they tend to be better scripts.
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
The parenting bit is much harder than the acting bit. You just never know what to do.
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
With the number of people I ignore, I'm lucky I work at all in this town.
