Zitat des Tages von Vanessa Kirby:
I feel people naturally have a brightness. When that is extinguished by circumstances - be it a wrong marriage or a situation that you cannot leave psychologically - there's something about that dying spark that I'm drawn to playing.
I never want to make any characters one-dimensional, especially as women can often be portrayed as the dark one or the evil one.
My hair has been so wrecked over the years by various things.
Some of my favourite characters have been people like Masha in 'Three Sisters' and Elena in 'Uncle Vanya.'
Trying to balance theatre and film is really important to me.
When you see yourself on a 40-ft. screen. you go, 'Oh My God! I look so weird!'
Family relationships are just so fascinating - how they shape you as a person, how you can wound each other, how you're imprinted in a way by your family and the conditions under which you grow up.
As a person, I'm incredibly overfamiliar. I have to be careful what I say!
My parents would always take me to the theatre, and I was bored a lot of the time. Loads of Shakespeare, and I didn't know what the hell was going on. And then, when I was 13, we went to see 'The Cherry Orchard,' and it changed everything for me.
I've always been pretty indifferent towards the royal family. I went on a school trip once to Buckingham Palace, and all I can remember is that it was really boring.
As I'm getting older, I feel like maybe I need to grow up a bit.
I doubt myself a lot but go forward at full throttle anyway.
Before filming 'The Crown,' I couldn't care less about the royal family. But now... I'm obsessed.
My dad is a big extrovert - he's a doctor - but he always loved Shakespeare, and he took us to tons of theater.
On screen, everyone stares at your face, but on stage, you can basically play anybody.
I always saw myself as a stage actress, and that was the reason I wanted to act, but very slowly, I've changed.
Love whoever you want to love.
I went to a very academic school, but I never really quite... I think because not that many people were particular creative or arty, I felt a little bit different.
I'm not interested in being known for anything other than the work.
I've always been so uninterested in playing any kind of archetype of some pure, innocent, virginal woman. I just don't believe it.
My thoughts are ridiculously loud and fast.
Just simple things - I like black and white, monochrome; I like suits.
To play anybody real and famous is very scary.
I do tend to find when you're playing characters, often - just for the time you're playing them - there are sides of your personality that get stronger because you draw on them more.
I was always bossing my sister around.
It's quite rare that you find something that you can quite literally have an absolute ball doing, as well as the tough stuff and the difficult stuff and the pain.
I've played a lot of untalented people.
I don't have a lot of instinctive fashion style myself.
I think my natural home was always the stage.
I don't see the point of grumpy people.
I love the Sixties and all those iconic women, Bridget Bardot and things like that, so I tend to lean towards those sorts of things.
I hate the idea of massive fame. I think the scariest thing for an actor is when your name becomes bigger than your craft or what you can do.
