You can't ever put your self-definition in the hands of somebody who meets you for 15 minutes.
From Helena Bonham Carter
People say, 'You're still breast-feeding, that's so generous.' Generous, no! It gives me boobs and it takes my thighs away! It's sort of like natural liposuction. I'd carry on breast-feeding for the rest of my life if I could.
I was a mixture of being incredibly old for my age and incredibly backwards. I was born quite old, but then I stopped growing. I lived with my mum and dad till I was 30.
The parenting bit is much harder than the acting bit. You just never know what to do.
My life had been very work-orientated, and all in close-up. Once I had the family, it went into sudden widescreen.
I would pretend to be the French lieutenant's woman. I was always a romantic. I still am, actually.
If you're a queen, you're powerless, so I'd probably demote myself and go shopping.
I drink booze, I smoke, and I'm hooked on caffeine. I actually have been known to swear at times and belch and even raise my voice when provoked. And I'm not physically repressed!
I'm drawn to emotionally damaged characters because there is more to unlock.
I also get fed up with the fact that casting agents and directors have this impression of me as being frail and petite. I find it very patronizing. I'm quite beefy and strong. I was a gymnast in school and I have lots of muscles.
