Being in nature is very important to me. I'm not a glamour puss.

You always want your films to go as far as they can.

It's different for every project. Some parts are quicker than others to get and know; sometimes right up until the last moment you're just praying that something will click. But you can only do a certain amount of work and then at some point you've got to think: 'OK, I'm just going to have to leap now.'

From Sally Hawkins

My parents have a strong work ethic, but their attitude to life, their philosophy, is: 'whatever makes you happy.'

From Sally Hawkins

Characters that are not the norm or a bit out of the ordinary are always a challenge as an actress. You learn more by using different tools for those type of characters. They are always much more fun to play and much more interesting. They take you places that you wouldn't necessarily go in your everyday life.

From Sally Hawkins

You think that adulthood will hit and you'll suddenly be more capable. But that doesn't happen, ever, does it?

From Sally Hawkins

You can't be a woman and not be a feminist, I don't think. If you care about the world and the world you exist in and your rights.

From Sally Hawkins

I never come away from a film thinking I nailed it.

From Sally Hawkins

I love disappearing. That's what acting is. For me it's about putting on a persona, stepping into a pair of shoes. It's my face, but I'm using it as a tool for that spirit, that character.

From Sally Hawkins

You do your bit and then you hope for the best and you think, oh I hope there's an audience at the end of the day.
