Olivia Colman Zitate – Sprüche auf Englisch mit Übersetzung

Zitat des Tages von Olivia Colman:

I think I remember being held by my mum as a baby.

There was nothing about 'The Killing' that patronized its audience, and it was quite slow and detailed, all of the things which, for a long time, people had been nervous of making.

Olivia Colman

If something touches me, I cry. That's it. I'm a bit raw, a bit rubbish, really. Often, a director will say to me, 'I don't think this is a scene where your character cries.' And all I can say is, good luck with that!

Olivia Colman

My older brother, who was in the Army, now owns his own building company. My half-sister was a nurse and is now a psychotherapist.

Olivia Colman

To play something which is a big spectrum is so much more fun, so much more of a challenge.

Olivia Colman

It gets slightly daunting if you're watching the telly and everybody's gorgeous. It's just so rubbish. And I'm grateful that it's not so much anymore - it's great to see.

Olivia Colman

I remember doing one of those computer careers tests. It told me I'd make an ideal HGV lorry driver because I've got 100 per cent spatial awareness. I'd be able to back them into tight parking spots.

Olivia Colman

Everything with me is pretty close to the surface, but having kids has completely ruined my emotional equilibrium.

Olivia Colman

If a script is good, you are 10 steps into the part just reading it. But my choices are not all down to my taste. It is about people you have worked with before.

Olivia Colman

I was nervous about meeting Charlotte Rampling, as she's a proper legend, but she is just so sweet.

Olivia Colman

In fact I was slightly badly behaved at school and got in trouble. I would get a bee in my bonnet about something I thought wasn't right, and I would ape about too, to make everybody laugh. That was my way through my girls' school, because I wasn't very academic.

Olivia Colman

After those first two BAFTAs, I didn't really get offered anything, which makes you think, 'Oh, no!' And, after I finished the second series of 'Broadchurch,' nothing came up for six months, which really is a long time, and I got a bit panicky.

Olivia Colman

I am a perfectly normal woman. If what we do is storytelling and represent people that we see all day and every day, well, we do not see supermodels all day and every day.

Olivia Colman

You see thousands of films you forget the minute you come out of the cinema, don't you? Because they don't mean anything. It's the tough ones like 'Breaking the Waves' and 'Nil By Mouth' that stay with you, that you never forget. I'd like to leave a few of those behind if possible.

Olivia Colman

I started off in comedy, but that's just where I got my work. I've always been an actor.

Olivia Colman

Dementia is such a terrifying thing for all of us, and we are particularly bad at coping with old people in this country.

Olivia Colman

If people still trust me with a funny line, then that is fine. If that is what gets me work.

Olivia Colman

I love my job and I know I am very lucky but still, if you audition and you don't get it, it still affects you.

Olivia Colman

I am a bit sickie happy. I am prone to black clouds too, but... I am embarrassed about them. It's like: 'My diamond shoes are too tight. My money clip doesn't fit all my fifties.' I mean - really. Shut up.

Olivia Colman

I don't think you can cry if the script is rubbish. I have to feel it; it's as simple as that. It's just like if you're watching something moving, and you feel yourself welling up. It's the same thing. You're just being carried along with the story. There's nothing magical about it. I think I'm in touch with my emotions, and I can't help it.

Olivia Colman

This may sound mad, but you sort of assume that no one's going to watch what you do. You go on set, have a lovely time, and then you forget anyone's going to see it. So it's always a bit of a shock to be recognized. I get terribly embarrassed.

Olivia Colman

I was never one of those surly teenagers who doesn't smile. My lovely godfather said it was always lovely to see me because I was the only teenager who smiled. And I was so in awe of him, I thought it was one of the best things anyone had ever said to me. So it made me want to live up to what he said.

Olivia Colman

I'd feel bad pretending my life was anything other than pretty good, so I do the role as well as I can and then I go home, have a cup of tea, see my family and friends, and appreciate what I've got.

Olivia Colman

You can over-think things. If the script's good, everything you need is in there. I just try and feel it and do it honestly. I also don't learn things for auditions, because I feel like it's just a test of memorising rather than being real.

Olivia Colman

I think I remember being held by my mum as a baby.

Olivia Colman

When you've got children, it's easy to do that thing of keeping a tally of who woke up earliest and whose turn it is to put them to bed. But I think the important thing is to appreciate and love each other and to show that appreciation.

Olivia Colman

I grew up in north Norfolk, which certainly used to have an enormous sense of community. There are more and more second homes there now, so I'm not sure how that has damaged it. But where I live in South London, there is a beautiful community; it's the friendliest place I have ever lived, which comes as a surprise to non-Londoners.

Olivia Colman

I don't like the bullying, do-one-over style of comedy. It's so cheap.

Olivia Colman

Everybody laughs all the time, and some of the worst things that happen make you laugh 'cause it's a defense isn't it, I suppose.

Olivia Colman

I am just an actor - all I do is I memorise someone else's words and tart around.

Olivia Colman

I can't bear kissing scenes.

Olivia Colman

I want to be helpful to the charities I support. I think you can dilute it, the more you do. You have to be a bit strong about what you do... otherwise, you risk spreading yourself a bit thin, and you can be less useful.

Olivia Colman

I'm always keen to have more training as a charity patron.

Olivia Colman

If I didn't have children I might be more of a lush than I am. I like booze. I struggle with smoking. And I'm a big swearer. I'm trying to rein it in but I do think it's a nice seasoning of language.
