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.

More quotes by Miranda Richardson
You cant please all the people all the time.
Miranda Richardson
I need my friends, I need my house, I need my garden.
Miranda Richardson
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
Insecurity, commonly regarded as a weakness in normal people, is the basic tool of the actor's trade.
Miranda Richardson
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
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
London keeps me grounded. We don't get praised every time we open our gobs there.
Miranda Richardson
I like the personality of the Belgians. They're deeply eccentric, which is something that comes across in their design - terrific.
Miranda Richardson
Somebody referred to me as a ringleader, which I wouldn't have classed myself as, but anyway, there you go.
Miranda Richardson
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.
Miranda Richardson
I have no idea what my persona would be. As far as I'm concerned, I'm changing all the time.
Miranda Richardson
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
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.
Miranda Richardson
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
Our press is the most disgusting in the world.
Miranda Richardson
Feminism was a dirty word for a while.
Miranda Richardson
You can have a laugh in Los Angeles, or you can weep in Los Angeles, depending on your attitude towards it.
Miranda Richardson
I don't necessarily wait for that massive leading role. I want to keep the juices flowing.
Miranda Richardson
I hope that you walk around the corner and you get very surprised.
Miranda Richardson
