Miranda Otto Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Miranda Otto:

I'd always had a big thing for the '60s.

There are some great women's roles in television... so much more interesting than what I was reading in film scripts.

Miranda Otto

Sadly, my German is almost non-existent, although I did a little at school.

Miranda Otto

I was cast in a film toward the end of high school. Even then, I wasn't sure.

Miranda Otto

I haven't found the experience of being hot very great. It usually means you are about to be overexposed. I would rather be respected.

Miranda Otto

I think you go through a period as a teenager of being quite cool and unaffected by things.

Miranda Otto

If there is a book that the script came from you have to read it, you have to see what you can get out of it: mood, back story and things that may not even be in the film. They kick off your imagination and broaden the character, I think.

Miranda Otto

I was researching my family tree, and I was deeply hoping I was going to turn out to be Eastern European, but I'm not.

Miranda Otto

Acting is a freelance career... you never stop having to prove yourself and fight for work.

Miranda Otto

I guess I find it easy to play uptight characters.

Miranda Otto

The detective genre is not easy because you've got to get to a conclusion that is unexpected.

Miranda Otto

As your career goes on, you get to flex your brain a little more and play characters that are stronger and more intelligent.

Miranda Otto

England is very interested as well, and other countries if I could speak the languages!

Miranda Otto

I got into medicine at university, then deferred a year to see. Then I started acting and just never went back to university.

Miranda Otto

Young actors are serious about their work and don't take any time out from it. I'm very serious about my work; there are probably only two films I've done where I had a really good time.

Miranda Otto

There are so many things from movies that are remembered, that are just looks on people's faces or incredible vistas or beautiful pictures. That is a very important part of cinema.

Miranda Otto

Sitting down for the actor read when you first get together, it's like the Last Supper because you don't know who will be there for the next read.

Miranda Otto

I like working intensely, then going away and thinking about it, working out why it didn't work and then coming back to it. It makes the work richer, I think.

Miranda Otto

I'd always had a big thing for the '60s.

Miranda Otto

Certain characters get to me and stay with me for a while.

Miranda Otto

It is hard sometimes to see how other actors are working when you are working with them.

Miranda Otto

My parents split up when I was young, and they are still good friends. I think it's often projected that these things have to be so acrimonious. It's so often not the case.

Miranda Otto

Generally, with films, what tends to happen is that a few people get a lot of momentum out of it, and a lot of people don't.

Miranda Otto

I hate being pigeon-holed into anything. To me, the best thing is when the next job comes and is completely different to the one that I just had.

Miranda Otto

I really like research.

Miranda Otto

I'm so fair that I didn't go in the sun as a child. When all my friends were on the beach, I was going to ballet. The teachers there didn't like you going in the sun, so I never did.

Miranda Otto

Around the time of 'The Lord of the Rings,' it was a shock to me just how big it is to be on that kind of media juggernaut. It was a big thing and the scrutiny was shocking.

Miranda Otto

That is definitely something that I feel more comfortable with now. When I did 'Lord of the Rings,' it was something I wasn't quite prepared for, I didn't know how to deal with that sort of attention, and I kind of shied away from that, but I'm better at dealing with that now - a lot better.

Miranda Otto

I've made my peace with being in the spotlight, definitely.

Miranda Otto

When I was younger, people would always say, 'Are you a ballet dancer?' I had that look - one of those skinny kids with my hair in a bun.

Miranda Otto

Soho House is normally a private-members club, but the Berlin one has a hotel open to the public. Many beautiful rooms in a cool location, and who knows who you'll run into in the lobby!

Miranda Otto

I grew up seeing a lot of theatre, and it was theatre that really seduced me into acting - not film or television.

Miranda Otto

In everything I do, I like to set the idea for girls that they can do anything. I was really moved by Hillary Clinton's speech when she lost the election - she didn't want young girls to feel like it wasn't possible and wanted them to know a female president will eventually happen. That's important.

Miranda Otto

It's a little daunting coming on to work with actors that you respect so much.

Miranda Otto

Every director is completely different.

Miranda Otto

It's good to see a man who isn't afraid to live out his masculinity.

Miranda Otto

It's a career that's enticing because you go on stage, for example, and people clap. You get that affirmation, but you can't go into acting for that because it's really your own self-belief that's going to get you through.
