Zitate und Sprüche von Helen McCrory

Zu jedem Zeitpunkt in meinem Leben denke ich, dass jetzt das beste Alter ist.

Every time, at any point of my life, I think now is always the best age to be.

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.

Literature is reflecting what is happening in life. More and more women are having relationships with younger men. It's partly that women are not losing their figures now.

Working in films, there are hundreds of odd moments.

What really matters to me is what my peers think.

Actually, I'm looking forward to being 50. Because to me, that's when a woman is at the pinnacle of her femininity and her womanhood.

I've often sat down with people talking about a film I've been in, and they haven't realised I was in it.

I love London, and it's a privilege for my children to grow up here.

I've become more confident as I have got older. I care less what others think.

America is such a nation of suppressed emotion, and when you arrive in L.A., you can smell the fear. It's the most alien country I've ever been to.

My own parents were very un-neurotic, so I never thought that I had to change enormously in order to become a parent.

As I've got older, I feel more confident in my body, so wouldn't want to tamper with it.

I love theatre because it's just me and the audience. It's the litmus test in acting, to be able to sustain a performance over one, two or three hours.

Childhood has definitely been invented, hasn't it? I think that's because people had children later, and we appreciate and cherish childhood a lot more.

If you think you are beautiful in a scene, you will come across as beautiful. I don't think looks are important; I think what's important is if someone is sexy.

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.'

People are not considerate of others. They tend not to consider themselves as all living together, but see themselves only as individuals.
