Image
London keeps me grounded. We don't get praised every time we open our gobs there.
Miranda Richardson
Image
I have no idea what my persona would be. As far as I'm concerned, I'm changing all the time.
Miranda Richardson
Image
I carry music in my head, so I don't need more. It drives me nuts that, in hotels or on boats, people seem to think you need music 24 hours a day.
Miranda Richardson
Image
For years, I never knowingly went on a holiday. When I travelled, it was for work. Now I am a huge advocate, particularly to places which have amazing wildlife, such as Antarctica, India and Patagonia.
Miranda Richardson
Image
Somebody referred to me as a ringleader, which I wouldn't have classed myself as, but anyway, there you go.
Miranda Richardson
Image
I like the personality of the Belgians. They're deeply eccentric, which is something that comes across in their design - terrific.
Miranda Richardson
Image
If you only took on roles that had the same qualities, then I suppose it might make a critic feel better, if he can see some kind of bedrock. Perhaps that's the old definition of a star, someone who's always going to come up with the same goods. But it intimates limitation to me and I don't want to think of the job like that.

Image
You can have a laugh in Los Angeles, or you can weep in Los Angeles, depending on your attitude towards it.

Image
Feminism was a dirty word for a while.
Miranda Richardson
Image
I don't necessarily wait for that massive leading role. I want to keep the juices flowing.
Miranda Richardson
Image
You cant please all the people all the time.
Miranda Richardson
Image
The writing is the springboard for your intuitive stuff and then you see, maybe a colour of what you want to achieve. Then you bring in the technique you've learnt. But when you're on film, you're not always in control of that. That's what makes me believe in a kind of collective unconscious, a sort of experience you draw on.
Miranda Richardson
Image
Our press is the most disgusting in the world.
Miranda Richardson
Image
I would rather do many small roles on TV, stage or film than one blockbuster that made me rich but had no acting.
Miranda Richardson
Image
It's the idea that when you say 'actress', people think of an airy, floaty, no-brain person, which of course you can't be if you are an actor. It is an unfortunate word, which is why, for a time, I hung on to 'actor', because it just seemed more workmanlike, you know, like you say 'woman doctor' not 'doctoress'.
Miranda Richardson
Image
Why did I not stop to have children? I suppose because the opportunity didn't present itself. Yes, many women feel they are not complete without having children, but I have different creative outlets.
Miranda Richardson
Image
I need my friends, I need my house, I need my garden.
Miranda Richardson
Image
Insecurity, commonly regarded as a weakness in normal people, is the basic tool of the actor's trade.
Miranda Richardson
Image
I like people to be surprised by the turn of events. I don't want things just to be pat and formulaic. If there's some sort of internal combustion in the character or a desire to change the way things are going, that makes for conflict, which is the essence of drama.
