Acting has always been such escapism for me.

Every moment of living has its own logic, its own meaning.

Kelly Reilly
Image
I don't like the word celebrity. If I become a good actress and be in movies where I'm expected to be a good actress, who is recognised, that's different to being what I consider to be a celebrity. My job is an actor and that's what I'm passionate about and adore. It's a privilege to be able to do this job for a living.

I'm a theater actress. I love rehearsal. I could have six weeks of rehearsal and think it's not enough. But on film, you don't get that luxury.
Kelly Reilly
Image
My family believe you should never be flashy about anything. Maybe that handicapped me a little bit, that extreme humility.

I'm not a show-off I'm not an exhibitionist.

I'd prefer to go under the radar and just do the acting without being famous for it.
