More quotes by Rebecca Hall
I was the kid that grew up watching Bette Davis films.
Rebecca Hall
A floor length backless black sequined dress would be my dream dress. As for my dream date - that would have to be a young Marlon Brando!
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
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
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.
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
The idea that fear can manipulate people and you can use fear in the media to get what you want is happening right now. I think it has a lot of relevance between 2017 and 70's.
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
No family is sane, is it?
Rebecca Hall
If you act scared, your body produces adrenaline.
Rebecca Hall
I don't think that theater is the higher medium, that it's better than film.
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.
Rebecca Hall
I suppose the reason why I like acting is because I'm curious about human nature, and the less I know about a character on the page, instinctively, in a way, the better.
Rebecca Hall
You either are a good director or you're not.
Rebecca Hall
I always look for contradiction in a character.
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
I think acting can be very frustrating, and there's no experience that doesn't make you a better actor. So people may choose to explore their other talents.
Rebecca Hall
I don't like talking about myself, if I'm honest.
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
Sometimes I can spend months doing things to make sure that my instincts work correctly, but ultimately it's still instinctive.
