Everyone seems to think I'm very ladylike. That I'm very cultured and intelligent. I drink alot of Diet Coke and belch. I've been known to use the F-word. I've told a few dirty jokes. I arm-wrestle.

More quotes by Helena Bonham Carter
I'm drawn to emotionally damaged characters because there is more to unlock.
Helena Bonham Carter
Am I a good example? Well, at least I'm not too thin. I eat.
Helena Bonham Carter
The parenting bit is much harder than the acting bit. You just never know what to do.
Helena Bonham Carter
As everyone, you do end up becoming your mother, but also as you're acting, I find out you become every member of your family, bits come out without you really wanting them to come out.
Helena Bonham Carter
On corsets: I said, You have got to be kidding. I am an ape and yet I am still expected to squeeze myself into one of those damn things.
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 think everything in life is art. What you do. How you dress. The way you love someone, and how you talk. Your smile and your personality. What you believe in, and all your dreams. The way you drink your tea. How you decorate your home. Or party. Your grocery list. The food you make. How your writing looks. And the way you feel. Life is art.
Helena Bonham Carter
If you're a queen, you're powerless, so I'd probably demote myself and go shopping.
Helena Bonham Carter
I remember I did think, 'Wouldn't it be nice if Mr Right moved in next door?'
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
It took me ages to grow into being a woman, into being happy with it.
Helena Bonham Carter
I always feel better after a good scream.
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
Not only was it nearly impossible to hear because of these huge rubber ears we had to wear, but we also had these huge furry hands which were absolutely useless, especially if you had to scratch yourself.
Helena Bonham Carter
I just do things because I fancy the parts and the directors.
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.
Helena Bonham Carter
I just went and got an agent because I thought I can create my own world - you can't right your own life, but you can escape to a world where you can have control.
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
No, I can never rely on Tim to make me pretty.
Helena Bonham Carter
I love witches and magic and dress-up and make-believe.
