Zitat des Tages von Helen McCrory:
I had a great start in television; the first thing I did was an episode of 'Performance' called 'The Entertainer' with Michael Gambon playing Archie Rice.
What interests me about life most is people, and the why of the world. That's what theatre looks at: it examines life, and gives it a cohesiveness that life doesn't have.
There are a lot of little lessons that can be taught around the home without sitting a child down and boring them to death with your philosophy of life!
I think it's very important not to grow up with the unhealthy amount of attention that is sometimes put on people because they are 'actors'.
You don't learn from good people - they've found what works for them and are completely original; you learn from the people who are bad. You think: 'Oh dear, I'm not going to do that.'
The only time I ever spend alone is when I am working or when my husband is away filming. I put the kids to bed and have an hour and a half in the evening for myself.
I used to say that theatre was my favourite thing. But the more I do film, the more I appreciate it.
A script is only as good as the director who's making it.
Every time, at any point of my life, I think now is always the best age to be.
The benefits of feminism for someone like my husband are fantastic. He can stay at home with the kids, he can take them to a park, he does the school run.
Theatre is liberating because it only works if it's truthful - that's what it requires. That's not true of film: the camera does lie.
Appallingly, I hadn't thought about it one jot. I never daydreamed as a little girl of getting married and having children. I was as surprised to discover I was getting married as I was to discover I was up the duff.
I love London, and it's a privilege for my children to grow up here.
People who are exceptionally intelligent are often lonely because there are few people as intelligent as them. I have two little children, and everyone says: 'I hope they're doing well in school. I hope they're bright.' And I think: 'Why would anyone want their children to be the brightest?' Academia is a lonely world.
So often when you meet child actors, they're weird - they're freaks. No, I mean it, they're really odd people.
I listen to Radio 4 all the time. I didn't go to university, so that's my further education.
I've become more confident as I have got older. I care less what others think.
You can be moved by a performance on set, but when you see it on screen, it does nothing. Yet there will be someone you simply didn't notice on set that on screen: bam!
I feel as though my life is bathed in golden sunlight. And the really wonderful thing is that I know it.
People are not considerate of others. They tend not to consider themselves as all living together, but see themselves only as individuals.
