I was a mixture of being incredibly old for my age and incredibly backwards. I was born quite old, but then I stopped growing. I lived with my mum and dad till I was 30.

More quotes by Helena Bonham Carter
Tim also has enough confidence so that it always looks like a Tim Burton film, but it really is collaborative. You're allowed to do it your way but of course he's always going to choose his way.
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
I'm always attracted to lower budget, not because it's lower budget, but because they tend to be better scripts.
Helena Bonham Carter
You become very angry and depressed that you keep getting offered only these exceedingly demure and repressed roles. They're so not me. That's why films like Fight Club were so important to me because I think I confounded certain stereotypes and limited perceptions of what I could do as an actress.
Helena Bonham Carter
I personally never got the gist of Facebook and Twitter.
Helena Bonham Carter
I look completely like my mum. She's very foreign, very Jewish.
Helena Bonham Carter
Who wants to be normal when you can be unique?
Helena Bonham Carter
I'm the kind of actor who has ventured into escaping from me.
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
If you're a queen, you're powerless, so I'd probably demote myself and go shopping.
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
What I loved about playing the corpse is that obviously somebody else got to do the physical part. It appeals to the part of me that likes playing character parts and getting the chance to get away from my own physicality.
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
I remember I did think, 'Wouldn't it be nice if Mr Right moved in next door?'
Helena Bonham Carter
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.
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
Why do you put your self esteem in the hands of complete strangers?
Helena Bonham Carter
Be yourself. No one else can.
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
I love changing what I look like because I always feel super strange whenever I do watch something that I'm in.
