More quotes by Helena Bonham Carter
Why do you put your self esteem in the hands of complete strangers?
Helena Bonham Carter
Maybe from now on puppets can do the parts
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
Because I sleep with him he asked me to audition, you know?
Helena Bonham Carter
Am I a good example? Well, at least I'm not too thin. I eat.
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
I do think imperfection's underrated.
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
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
Be yourself. No one else can.
Helena Bonham Carter
I'm drawn to emotionally damaged characters because there is more to unlock.
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
You can actually have a pitch button, you know, to get people on pitch.
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
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
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!
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 should get a few ribs taken out, because I'll be in a corset for the rest of my life.
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
I always feel better after a good scream.
