More quotes by Rebecca Hall
You don't get roles like leading character in 'Christine' very often because people don't really like women on film to be unlikable. I think Christine is lovable, but I don't think she's likable. I think there's a fundamental difference. For me, those are the richest ones. Men have had a career of doing those kind of things.

No family is sane, is it?
Rebecca Hall
To read a character I'm not sympathizing with is generally quite a good, attractive proposition because I've got somewhere to go, I've got work to do, to try to understand why they behave like they behave, to relate entirely and understand them and to be completely emotionally connected. That is much more fun 99 percent of the time.

I was the kid that grew up watching Bette Davis films.
Rebecca Hall
I read everything. I've always got a book on the go and I'm really nerdy about it, I get through books and don't remember anything about them afterwards. But I read all sorts, from classic to contemporary.

I don't want to make vast generalizations about people who go into legal professions, but there are similarities in the barristers that I met and interacted with, in the sense that they tend to be highly eloquent, highly analytical, thinking people who have a very rapid-fire think-before-they-speak button, as it were.

One of the great things about the 'Iron Man' franchise is that they employ fascinating actors who don't necessarily do action movies. Before 'Iron Man' you didn't associate Robert Downey, Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow with those kinds of films. There's an emphasis on repartee and wit.
Rebecca Hall
We cannot talk with [animals] as we can with human beings, yet we can communicate with them on mental and emotional levels. They should, however, be accorded equality in that they should receive both compassion and respect it is unworthy of us to exploit them in any way.
Rebecca Hall
I don't think that anyone can really understand anything until it's understood on a cellular, emotional level.
Rebecca Hall
There's always going to be a separate version of you that people will create, and you have no control over it.
Rebecca Hall
I don't think that theater is the higher medium, that it's better than film.
Rebecca Hall
I daydream about things I want to happen, but none of it is more complicated, most of the time, than just really hoping that the good parts and the well-written parts are the ones that turn up on my doorstep.
Rebecca Hall
I think loads of people see acting, when they're kids, as these magical stories that just happen within the context of the film or the play or the cartoon or whatever they're seeing. They don't imagine that there are actually people that go and do that for a living.
Rebecca Hall
I try and avoid thinking of strategy and I tend to stick to my gun of doing things that I like and try to avoid things that I should be doing, and stay true to that.
Rebecca Hall
There are a lot of movies about misfits that are quite cool, that kind of glamorize it on some level. I think there are fewer films, certainly with a lady at the center, about the agony of what it's like to feel like you're not accepted, and you're different, and somehow you're weird.
Rebecca Hall
I don't think there's a single person on this planet that doesn't have a day when they feel like they're off, like they're not doing a very good job of being them. We all relate to having highs and lows. Everyone gets depressed.
Rebecca Hall
I've always had horrible Valentine's Days.
Rebecca Hall
I've played an awful lot of repressed people.

I'm very nerdy about my music, and I like interrogating people about what they put on playlists.
Rebecca Hall
My childhood was very colourful, and I am very good friends with both my parents. We have no secrets.
