I learned quite early on in l...

I learned quite early on in life that we are all two people. And one of those people none of us will ever know.

Helen Mirren 196 quotes

Gardening is learning, learni...

Gardening is learning, learning, learning. That's the fun of them. You're always learning.

Helen Mirren 196 quotes

I still suffer terribly from ...

I still suffer terribly from stage fright. I get sick with fear. Not every night, but at the beginning and on occasion - not necessarily when I'm expecting it. You just have to cope with it - take it on the chin and work through it, trying to use the adrenalin to perform.

Helen Mirren 196 quotes

The whole thing of clothes is...

The whole thing of clothes is insane. You can spend a dollar on a jacket in a thrift store. And you can spend a thousand dollars on a jacket in a shop. And if you saw those two jackets walking down the street, you probably wouldn't know which was which.

Helen Mirren 196 quotes

I don't like the word 'strong...

I don't like the word 'strong,' because a strong character is never an interesting character. A character is made interesting by their vulnerabilities and their weaknesses.

Helen Mirren 196 quotes

I have done film, television ...

I have done film, television and theatre - all at a pretty substantial level - I don't think it's possible for American actors to do that.

Helen Mirren 196 quotes

I think every woman in our cu...

I think every woman in our culture is a feminist. They may refuse to articulate it, but if you were to take any woman back 40 years and say, 'Is this a world you want to live in?' They would say, 'No.'

Helen Mirren 196 quotes

I am in a fabulously lucky po...

I am in a fabulously lucky position in that I get to wear beautiful, beautiful gowns for functions, which I can then give back. That way, they're not sitting in my wardrobe with me looking at them and feeling guilty. I love that, and I think when people have a fabulous function to go to, I'd recommend renting.

Helen Mirren 196 quotes

I'm under the impression that...

I'm under the impression that this notion of decency is disappearing from our society where conflicts are made worse on cinema and on television, where people are nasty and cruel on the Internet and where, in general, everybody seems to be very angry.

Helen Mirren 196 quotes

I am quite spiritual. I belie...

I am quite spiritual. I believed in the fairies when I was a child. I still do sort of believe in the fairies. And the leprechauns. But I don't believe in God.

Helen Mirren 196 quotes

It's a mystery, that thing ab...

It's a mystery, that thing about chemistry, because often people who hate each other in real life and hate each other on the set have great chemistry on the screen. And people who love each other in real life and love each other on the set have absolutely no chemistry whatsoever.

Helen Mirren 196 quotes

My parents believed in educat...

My parents believed in education and economic security, and I thank them for it. Because I think that's part of what's made my life stable. It was instilled in me. You have to be able to pay your bills. You do not get into debt. And I never have been.

Helen Mirren 196 quotes

You write your life story by ...

You write your life story by the choices you make. You never know if they have been a mistake. Those moments of decision are so difficult.

Helen Mirren 196 quotes

I'm terrified of learning lines, and I've always been terrified that I won't learn them.

Helen Mirren 196 quotes

I've always found as an actre...

I've always found as an actress that the best thing to do in film or TV or theater is just to lose yourself in it. Think of the story, the character, the worlds we're in, and forget everything else.

Helen Mirren 196 quotes

Sometimes nudity is sexy. Sometimes it's not. Sometimes being clothed is more sexy than being nude.

Helen Mirren 196 quotes

I can't help being Christian ...

I can't help being Christian because I was brought up in Britain, and the morality of Christianity is part of the fabric of this country.

Helen Mirren 196 quotes

Patience can be a good thing ...

Patience can be a good thing - but not necessarily. Sometimes it's not so bad to be impatient. I'm a little bit too polite.

Helen Mirren 196 quotes

Working away from my husband ...

Working away from my husband for long periods is good and bad. It stops us taking each other for granted and gives us space, but I miss him terribly.

Helen Mirren 196 quotes

When you're young, you wonder...

When you're young, you wonder what all these old people are droning on about, trying to impart their wisdom. It's not relevant to you because being young is such a specific thing. Thank God for that. Thank God for the young people who go out and demonstrate against rampant capitalism or whatever.
