Helena Bonham Carter Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Helena Bonham Carter:

I love witches and magic and dress-up and make-believe.

The problems come when your personal life and relationships come under scrutiny in the press and often very uncomplimentary things are printed about you.

Helena Bonham Carter

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.

Helena Bonham Carter

Not only was it nearly impossible to hear because of these huge rubber ears we had to wear, but we also had these huge furry hands which were absolutely useless, especially if you had to scratch yourself.

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.

Helena Bonham Carter

It was a challenge to be able to create a character without being able to use one's normal set of expressions. All the rubber and makeup attached to your face left you with only a modest range of facial movements.

Helena Bonham Carter

Usually I'm frustrated when I look at my films and I don't believe that I've made a real transformation beyond my usual sets of gestures and expressions. I still have this nagging feeling that it's me, that I didn't create a unique character.

Helena Bonham Carter

All the ancient classic fairy tales have always been scary and dark.

Helena Bonham Carter

It's easy for me to go back to being a kid. You know how kids can be like savages before they get civilized? There's that sadist quality. Y'know, like boys who like to pick apart an insect for the sake of it.

Helena Bonham Carter

I was reading William Shawcross's biography of the Queen Mother, dressed in my witch outfit! And you know what? It was a really good mix; it was a therapeutic mix.

Helena Bonham Carter

Famous people come up to me, but I don't know who they are because my sight is so bad. It's always at the pool of the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills when I don't have my lenses in and my glasses are in my room.

Helena Bonham Carter

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!

Helena Bonham Carter

You can't ever put your self-definition in the hands of somebody who meets you for 15 minutes.

Helena Bonham Carter

I'm a late developer. I only moved out of home when I was 30.

Helena Bonham Carter

Journalists are always calling my features Edwardian or Victorian, whatever that means. I am small, and people were smaller in those times. I'm pale and sickly-looking. I look fragile-like a doll. But sometimes I just wish I had less of a particular look, one that was more versatile.

Helena Bonham Carter

I'm often criticised for what I wear. That's my main label in the press now: disastrous dresser!

Helena Bonham Carter

I was sad that Corpse Bride was so short. I would've liked to have had her around for way longer. She doesn't actually have that many scenes.

Helena Bonham Carter

In any relationship, after the first year is over, you can't help but want your own space.

Helena Bonham Carter

I'm the kind of actor who has ventured into escaping from me.

Helena Bonham Carter

Because I sleep with him he asked me to audition, you know?

Helena Bonham Carter

No matter how many modern parts I do, people still refer to me as Mrs. Costume Drama. Fight Club is a studio pic, and I've done very few of those. I've got a feeling it's going to change things for me.

Helena Bonham Carter

When you're up for an Oscar, you just get offered everything. It's fantastic, but a lot of it you're completely inappropriate for.

Helena Bonham Carter

I love changing what I look like because I always feel super strange whenever I do watch something that I'm in.

Helena Bonham Carter

I remember I did think, 'Wouldn't it be nice if Mr. Right moved in next door?'

Helena Bonham Carter

I think I've still got a bit of a sado-masochistic streak in me, because if I'm not going to be restricted by corsets and covered in lace, then I still wind up wearing an ape-mask over my face. I do wonder how I get myself in these situations!

Helena Bonham Carter

When you write for very young children what they want is something familiar and safe and stereotyped.

Helena Bonham Carter

You become very angry and depressed that you keep getting offered only these exceedingly demure and repressed roles. They're so not me. That's why films like Fight Club were so important to me because I think I confounded certain stereotypes and limited perceptions of what I could do as an actress.

Helena Bonham Carter

I'm not dead and I don't have blue hair but some people say there are similarities. It is usually intolerable to watch myself onscreen but this time it's fine. I think it's beautiful and a real work of art.

Helena Bonham Carter

She looks like a warrior. I mean, Bellatrix does mean warrior. And she's also a bit of a fatale. She's the right hand of Voldemort, and the only woman death eater.

Helena Bonham Carter

I hate this image of me as a prim Edwardian. I want to shock everyone.

Helena Bonham Carter

I loved doing all those costume dramas. I didn't think, 'Ooh I've got to avoid being typecast' - you can't ever be dictated to by what other people think. I just do things because I fancy the parts and the directors.

Helena Bonham Carter

I just went and got an agent because I thought I can create my own world - you can't right your own life, but you can escape to a world where you can have control.

Helena Bonham Carter

I don't think kids have a problem with death. It's us older ones who are nearer to it, that start being frightened.

Helena Bonham Carter

I've never had white teeth. To be honest, I've never been told to do any of those horrible things - get your teeth whitened or your nose straightened.

Helena Bonham Carter

It would be nice to really shed the corsets.

Helena Bonham Carter

J.K. Rowling said Bellatrix's role was going to be significant in the last one, when I showed some reluctance in playing a tiny bit part. Up front, they said, 'You're very significant in the last one.' But significant could mean a lot of things. That could just mean a significant plot point. Doesn't necessarily equal big part.

Helena Bonham Carter

It didn't matter what you look like. You don't have to get up at 5:30 in the morning and there's a lot to be said for that. Corpse Bride can just play all my parts from now on and I'll just do the voice.
