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.

More quotes by 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
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
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've always had horrible Valentine's Days.
Rebecca Hall
I think for a long time it seemed like working in an art form and being a feminist meant portraying women in a perfect, angelic light. And there's nothing feminist about that.
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
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
One aspect of my mum's personality that has influenced me is her love of Hollywood and the golden era of black-and-white films.
Rebecca Hall
My mum's American. She's from Detroit.
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 was the kid that grew up watching Bette Davis films.
Rebecca Hall
I don't like talking about myself, if I'm honest.
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 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.
Rebecca Hall
I've played an awful lot of repressed people.
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 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
You either are a good director or you're not.
Rebecca Hall
I don't think that theater is the higher medium, that it's better than film.
Rebecca Hall
I don't think that anyone can really understand anything until it's understood on a cellular, emotional level.
